- Personal attention: this can be physical touches, verbal affirmations and even just gazing into someone's eyes giving them your full attention
- Page turning: this stimulation comes from the sound of reading and turning of the pages in a book. This provides some of the most relaxing triggers. Think about what reading a bedtime story to kids do.
