suggested ways to form attachment with ones infant include responding to crying, holding and cuddling, singing, and:
○ skin - to - skin contact
○ promoting self - soothing
○ feeding the infant hourly
○ taking the infant to the park

Explanation:

Question 1 (Magda Gerber's RIE Method)

The RIE method emphasizes infant autonomy and participation in self - care. Infants making their own snack is beyond their capability. Restricting to soft toys limits exploration. Self - soothing to sleep is more about sleep training. Participating in own care (like helping with simple care tasks they can do) aligns with RIE's principles of respecting infant capabilities and involving them in their care.

Skin - to - skin contact is a well - known way to form attachment, as it promotes bonding, regulates the infant's physiology, and is a nurturing action. Promoting self - soothing is about the infant's ability to calm themselves, not direct attachment formation. Feeding hourly is not a standard attachment - forming method (feeding should be on demand or appropriate schedule). Taking to the park is an activity but not a core attachment - forming action like the others listed (responding to crying, holding, singing) and skin - to - skin.

Answer:

A. having infants participate in their own care.
