Serve and Return Communication...

🎾 Wimbledon has just finished, and like a game of tennis, the back and forth communication parents have with their child can be the difference in them 'winning' and thriving in life or struggling with issues like anxiety, depression and self-esteem.

Serve and return communication is when an adult responds to a young child's gestures or cries with eye contact, words or a hug. This builds and strengthens neural connections in the brain, supporting the development of social and communication skills.
