here's something I do to my lee, who loves being tickled
1. make her lift her arms and I talk about the fact that I'm going to tickle her and she needs to keep them up
2. I say I'm going to give her an armpit massage, and she gets to control the level, I'll lightly run my fingers over her underarms and say "ok this is 1" and so far, she's really liked when I go to level 3, which is lightly digging in getting her giggling.
