1. Hand your little one the controller. Show them how to hold it comfortably. 2. Point out the important buttons — just one or two to start. 3. Pick a simple game (a racing game or something with few controls). 4. Let them press buttons and see what happens on screen. Narrate: "You made them jump!" 5. Take turns playing. Keep sessions short.
