These neural connections build her \u201cbrain architecture\u201d and are the foundation for all future development.<\/p>\n<p>Serve and return is one aspect of the <a href=\"https:\/\/babysparks.com\/2016\/08\/31\/healthy-attachment-brighter-future\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">overall attachment between a baby and her parents<\/a> or caregivers. A lack of consistent, loving responsiveness can result in important neural pathways never forming, or fading away from lack of stimulation. Research also shows that babies feel distress when their attempts to connect with a parent or caregiver are persistently ignored.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Benefits of Serve and Return<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Serve and return affects all aspects of a baby\u2019s development, including intellectual, social, emotional, physical, behavioral and moral. Regularly interacting with parents and caregivers in rich and meaningful ways is correlated with self-confidence, stable mental health, motivation to learn, educational and workplace achievement, impulse control, conflict resolution skills, ethical behavior, developing and maintaining relationships, and children eventually becoming successful parents themselves.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Examples of Serve and Return<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Serve and return interactions will be important throughout your baby\u2019s life, and will evolve as she matures and her brain functioning becomes more complex.<\/p>\n<p>Like every aspect of development, serve and return progresses in stages with each stage building on the one before. Some of the first things your baby will \u201cserve\u201d you are eye-contact, smiles, and coos. Your \u201creturn\u201d may be a smile, sweet word, or loving touch. When she starts babbling, your responses become more complex as you babble back while making different facial expressions. When she starts to point, you label the objects she points at. When she learns to draw, you ask about her drawing. Before you know it she\u2019s a teenager, and although serve and return has become much more complicated than returning a coo, it continues to positively affect her still-developing brain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Maximizing Opportunities for Serve and Return<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Babies naturally seek interaction by making sounds, expressions and movements. Responding to these actions is the best way to engage in serve and return with your baby. You won\u2019t be able to do this 100 percent of the time, but overall responsiveness is the key.<\/p>\n<p>If other adults help care for your baby, you can explain the importance of these interactions and request that they engage with your baby as much as possible.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/babysparks.com\/2016\/11\/01\/making-sense-of-the-new-screen-time-guidelines\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Limiting screen time<\/a> promotes serve and return. The Harvard University Center on the Developing Child points out that there is no scientific support for claims that certain electronic games and videos positively affect development. In fact, screen time takes away from the individualized aspect of serve and return, which is tailored to a baby\u2019s unique personality, interests, needs and capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of electronics, our BabySparks app doesn\u2019t involve any screen time for your baby but does offer hundreds of instructional videos for activities you can do with your baby\u2014every one of which involves serve and return. These activities are designed to nurture different areas of your baby\u2019s development while encouraging brain-boosting back-and-forth between you![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Your baby smiles at you and you smile back.
