Scenario:
A couple recently became first-time parents and are naturally feeling a bit overwhelmed by their new responsibilities. They find themselves constantly checking growth charts, deeply concerned about whether their baby is hitting every major developmental milestone on time. To encourage early language development, they have started reading aloud daily and narrating their chores, hoping the baby picks up on their words. They also prioritize skin-to-skin contact and responsive cuddling to build a secure, lifelong emotional bond with their newborn. Ultimately, while the journey is filled with anxiety, every coo and smile reassures them that they are doing a wonderful job.
