Match the moment
Choose steady, predictable audio for rest and a slightly brighter sound for transitions. Start quietly and let your child’s response guide you.
Keep the parent in control
The grown-up starts, stops, and adjusts playback. Audio should support presence rather than replace comfort, conversation, or judgement.
Stop when it is not helping
Calm audio is optional. If it adds stimulation or frustration, pause it and return to a familiar family cue.
