How can I work on back-and-forth with my child at home?

Back-and-forth is the turn-taking that underpins all communication. Build it at home by following your child's lead, pausing to leave space for their response, and answering any turn — a look, sound or movement — with warmth. Roll-and-return games, copy-me sounds, peek-a-boo pauses and songs with gaps all help, woven into daily routines.
