How to Build Back-and-Forth Interaction at Home

Back-and-forth (serve-and-return) interaction is everyday turn-taking between you and your child. Build it at home by following your child's lead, treating every look, sound or gesture as a turn, pausing to give them space to respond, and using playful routines like peekaboo, ball-rolling and songs. Short, frequent, joyful exchanges work best.
