Explanation:

The RIE method emphasizes respectful caregiving and infant autonomy. "Having infants participate in their own care" aligns with RIE's principles of allowing infants to be involved in self - care (like feeding, dressing with support) to foster independence. The other options: restricting play to soft toys is too limiting, infants can't make their own snacks safely, and letting infants fall asleep on their own is more about sleep training (not core RIE).

Answer:

having infants participate in their own care.
