Fictional caregiver input:
Baby age: 4 months. Awake and comfortable. Caregiver stays with the baby throughout.
Available: caregiver voice and a baby-safe picture book.
Want gentle screen-free ideas, with no small loose parts, batteries, magnets or cords.
No developmental assessment or medical advice requested.
Play suggestions need a caregiver’s review. They are not a developmental assessment. Ask a paediatrician about restrictions or concerns.
2. Create your first draft
Start a fresh AI conversation. This prompt includes the sample, so it is ready to paste.
Suggest supervised play for this baby’s age
Ask for the baby’s age in months and any clinician restrictions first. Suggest three gentle screen-free activities matched to that age. Use adult supervision throughout and safe age-labelled materials. State when to stop. Avoid small parts, accessible batteries, magnets, cords, water play and risky DIY toys. Link UNICEF/AAP guidance; say if you cannot verify a link. Do not assess development or promise outcomes.
SAMPLE INPUT
Fictional caregiver input:
Baby age: 4 months. Awake and comfortable. Caregiver stays with the baby throughout.
Available: caregiver voice and a baby-safe picture book.
Want gentle screen-free ideas, with no small loose parts, batteries, magnets or cords.
No developmental assessment or medical advice requested.
3. Compare an illustrative result
Reviewed idea: sit comfortably with the awake baby, make eye contact, smile and respond softly to their sounds. Let them set the pace.
Alternative: show a page of the baby-safe book while talking about one picture.
Stop when they seem tired or uncomfortable. Verify fit for your baby with the linked age-specific guidance; no developmental outcome promised.
An example of a reviewed result. Your model may phrase it differently. Compare the facts and boundaries.
The age and supervision requirement appear in every activity.
Inspect materials and remove small parts, accessible batteries, magnets and cords.
Use the baby’s cues; stop if uncomfortable and ask a paediatrician about concerns.
4. Audit the answer
Replace the draft placeholder with the answer you received. Then check the AI audit against the original input yourself.
Check the age and safety of the play ideas
Check each idea against age, materials and supervision in the input. Flag age mismatches, unsafe objects and unsupported developmental claims. Verify the suggested activity against UNICEF/AAP guidance before trying it. Replace a questionable idea with a caregiver-led song or conversation.

DRAFT TO CHECK
[Paste the draft you received.]
5. Repeat it with one real example
Start with the sample
Copy the fictional input below. Read what is known and what is missing.
Check: You can identify one detail that the model must not invent.
Open your AI chat
Use an AI chat you already have access to. Start a fresh conversation and paste the first prompt.
Check: The prompt contains the input, the output format and the boundaries.
Compare the first draft
Read the illustrative result, then compare it with the answer you received. Outputs can differ.
Check: The result is grounded in the sample rather than merely sounding confident.
Audit with the second prompt
Paste the answer into the review prompt. Inspect each flagged issue yourself.
Check: A second AI answer is a checklist aid, not independent proof.
Adapt one real example
Enter the actual age and safe materials, keeping personal details out. Open the original age-specific source and inspect the activity. Pick one short supervised activity, follow the baby’s cues and stop if uncomfortable.
Check: Your actual constraints replace the fictional ones; unresolved facts remain questions.
Save one useful artifact
Save your input, reviewed output and one correction. Explain the check you used to a neighbour.
Check: You can repeat the task without this lesson and know when to verify a source.
