And believe us when we say that \u201cevery area\u201d is not an overstatement! The 5-steps of serve and return don\u2019t just help develop a baby\u2019s cognitive, social, or physical skills. They help with moral development, self-confidence, strong mental health, and can even spark a motivation to learn. Due to the magnitude of this remarkable system of interaction, we think it\u2019s imperative to dive deeper into the specifics.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b><i>Highlights:\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Harvard Center on the Developing Child defines serve and return as a series of interactions that shape a child\u2019s brain.

When a baby or toddler turns to an adult and \u201cserves\u201d a cue to interact (babbling, crying, pointing, talking) and that cue is received and returned by an adult, neural connections are built and strengthened.<\/p>\n<h2>The 5 Steps of Serve and Return<\/h2>\n<p><strong>1 &#8211; When you detect a serve, <a href=\"https:\/\/babysparks.com\/2019\/05\/20\/joint-attention-why-tuning-in-to-your-child-is-so-important\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">share the focus<\/a> of your child\u2019s attention. <\/strong>The importance of this step is to be aware of the serve (a facial expression, a cooing sound, a point in a particular direction, or a word). Once you notice the serve, get involved with whatever she\u2019s looking at or pointing to. It\u2019s like crawling into her visual field to share the stimulus.<\/p>\n<p><em>Example<\/em>: While you\u2019re standing at the sink, you look over and notice that she\u2019s pointing to a bird that\u2019s just landed on the window sill. Engage in the action with her, make eye contact with her, point at the bird, and share the experience.<\/p>\n<p><em>Objective<\/em>: Engaging in the serve with her encourages these actions. By joining with her and sharing her focus, you\u2019re also strengthening your bond.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2 &#8211; Return the serve by showing support and excitement for her action.<\/strong> In this step, you want to express acknowledgment for her discovery and show her that you\u2019re excited too.<\/p>\n<p><em>Example<\/em>: Smile, nod your head, and show her that you\u2019re in agreement! \u201cI see the bird too! It\u2019s so beautiful!\u201d Maybe bring her closer to the window so she can see it more clearly.<\/p>\n<p><em>Objective: <\/em>When she sees something stimulating and she points to it, if no one responds, it can create a sense of anxiety for her. Returning a serve makes her feel acknowledged, comforted, and understood.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3 &#8211; Name it!<\/strong> You want to make sure the serve is returned with purpose. When she points something out and expresses curiosity, excitement, or interest, give it a name.<\/p>\n<p><em>Example:<\/em> When you bring her to the window to see the bird, repeat the word \u201cbird\u201d. Give her extra details like \u201ctiny, yellow bird\u201d or encourage her to interact, \u201clet\u2019s say hello to the birdy\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><em>Objective:<\/em> Naming the object and repeating it for her not only helps her learn these words, but also lets her know you\u2019re interested and you care about what\u2019s going on in her world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4 &#8211; Wait for a response and keep the interaction going. <\/strong>The keyword in this step is \u201cwait\u201d. Sometimes we\u2019ll return a serve and mistakenly take her silence as a sign of disinterest or indifference. Remember that she needs time to process what she\u2019s seeing, hearing, and feeling. Once you do get a response, take turns with your words and expressions and keep the interaction going.<\/p>\n<p><em>Example:<\/em> When you ask her \u201cdo you want to say hello to the birdy?\u201d she pauses. Take some time to let it all sink in. Whatever her response is, a wave, another pointing finger, or maybe a clap of the hands, return this serve again and keep taking turns. Just remember to give her time to process!<\/p>\n<p><em>Objective:<\/em> Waiting helps her to feel more comfortable and confident in developing her own ideas. It also helps her to understand self-control and how communication works.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5 &#8211; Practice beginning and ending an action<\/strong>. It\u2019s often pretty obvious when a baby or toddler is ready to move on. Her eyes might dart to something else or she\u2019ll show a little fussiness when she\u2019s done with the activity. The point of this step is to allow her to take the lead when ending a certain activity and beginning a new one.<\/p>\n<p><em>Example: <\/em>While you\u2019re at the window, she starts to squirm and move her focus to something else in the room. You can say something like \u201cbye-bye birdy\u201d or \u201call done!\u201d to signify that you understand that she\u2019s ready to stop birdwatching.<\/p>\n<p><em>Objective:<\/em> Allowing her to gain some control over beginning and ending an activity can help promote more these serve and return interactions. It also shows your support for her exploration into the world!<\/p>\n<p>Remember that you don\u2019t need to engage in serve and return all day every day! Look for natural opportunities to do it, like during bath time (<a href=\"https:\/\/babysparks.com\/2019\/02\/26\/bath-time-safety\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">when you need to be fully focused on your child<\/a> for safety reasons) or while doing BabySparks activities![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]When the Harvard Center on the Developing Child released the 5 steps of serve and return, we knew we had to share it!
