Want to light up your baby’s brain? Think “serve and return.” 🎾
Much like a tennis match, serve and return entails back and forth interaction during which adult and child trade conversational (and other expressive) turns.
This father/daughter duo provide a fantastic example.
Only 8 weeks old, baby “serves” by reaching out for her father’s attention - making eye contact, sticking out her tongue, and cooing.
Her adoring and attentive dad, meanwhile, “returns” - mimicking and extending her cues and vocalizations.
As the two participate in this mutual exchange, neural connections are strengthened that support the development of baby’s communication and social skills.
More than just your physical presence, your baby needs your undivided attention - so be mindful of screen time and other distractions and engage your little one face-to-face. The dividends will be huge.
