This is called \u201cserve and return,\u201d  and it takes two to play! Follow these 5 steps to practice serve and return with your child. <\/p>\n<p>Serve and return  interactions make  <\/p>\n<p>everyday moments fun  and become second  nature with practice. <\/p>\n<p>1 <\/p>\n<p>Notice the serve and  share the child\u2019s focus  <\/p>\n<p>of attention. <\/p>\n<p>( 2 ) Return the serve  <\/p>\n<p>by supporting and  encouraging. <\/p>\n<p>By taking small moments during  the day to do serve and return,  you build up the foundation  for children\u2019s lifelong learning,  behavior, and health\u2014and their  skills for facing life\u2019s challenges. <\/p>\n<p>For more on serve and return:  tinyurl.com\/serve-return <\/p>\n<p>Filming Interactions to Nurture  Development (FIND) is a video  coaching program that aims to  strengthen positive interactions  between caregivers and children.  FIND was developed by Dr. Phil Fisher  and colleagues in Eugene, Oregon. <\/p>\n<p>For more about FIND:  tinyurl.com\/find-program <\/p>\n<p>Is the child looking or pointing at  something? Making a sound or facial  expression? Moving her arms and  legs? That\u2019s a serve. The key is to pay  attention to what the child is focused  on. You can\u2019t spend all your time doing  this, so look for small opportunities  throughout the day\u2014like while you\u2019re  getting him dressed or waiting in line  at the store. <\/p>\n<p>WHY? By noticing serves, you\u2019ll  learn a lot about a child\u2019s abilities,  interests, and needs. You\u2019ll encourage  her to explore and you\u2019ll strengthen  the bond between you. <\/p>\n<p>You can offer comfort with a hug and  gentle words, help him, play with him,  or acknowledge him. You can make a  sound or facial expression \u2014like saying,  \u201cI see!\u201d or smiling and nodding to let  him know you\u2019re noticing the same  thing. Or you can pick up the object  he\u2019s pointing to and give it to him. <\/p>\n<p>WHY? Supporting and encouraging  rewards a child\u2019s interests and curiosity.  Never getting a return can actually be  stressful for a child. When you return  the serve, the child knows that his  thoughts and feelings are heard and  understood. <\/p>\n<p>developingchild.harvard.edu PAGE I OF 2 Center on the Developing Child \u0444 HARVARD UNIVERSITY<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div>                 tinyurl.com\/serve-return             <\/div>\n<div>                 tinyurl.com\/find-program             <\/div>\n<div>                 developingchild.harvard.edu             <\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>5 Steps for Brain-Building Serve and Return <\/p>\n<p>from Filming Interactions to Nurture Development (FIND) <\/p>\n<p>Did you know that building a child\u2019s developing brain  can be as simple as playing a game of peek-a-boo? <\/p>\n<p>\u0173 3 ) Give it  <\/p>\n<p>a name! Take turns\u2026and wait.  Keep the interaction  going back and forth. <\/p>\n<p>k 5 \u0423 Practice  <\/p>\n<p>endings and  beginnings. <\/p>\n<p>When you return a child\u2019s serve by  naming what she is seeing, doing, or  feeling, you make important language  connections in her brain, even before  she can talk or understand your words.  You can name anything\u2014a person,  a thing, an action, a feeling, or a  combination. If a child points to her  feet, you can also point to them and  say, \u201cYes, those are your feet!\u201d <\/p>\n<p>WHY? When you name what a child is  focused on, you help her understand  the world around her and help her  know what to expect. Naming also  gives her words to use herself and  lets her know you care. <\/p>\n<p>Every time you return a serve, give the  child a chance to respond. Taking turns  can be quick (from the child to you and  back again) or go on for many turns.  Waiting is crucial. Children need time to  form their responses, especially when  they\u2019re learning so many things at once.  Waiting helps keep the turns going. <\/p>\n<p>WHY? Taking turns helps children learn  self-control and how to get along with  others. By waiting, you give the child  time to develop his ideas and build his  confidence and independence. Waiting  also helps you understand his needs. <\/p>\n<p>Children signal when they\u2019re done or  ready to move on to a new activity.  They might let go of a toy, pick up a  new one, or turn to look at something  else. Or they may walk away, start to  fuss, or say, \u201cAll done!\u201d When you share  a child\u2019s focus, you\u2019ll notice when she\u2019s  ready to end the activity and begin  something new. <\/p>\n<p>WHY? When you can find moments for  a child to take the lead, you support her  in exploring her world\u2014and make more  serve and return interactions possible. <\/p>\n<p>developingchild.harvard.edu PAGE 2 OF 2 Center on the Developing Child \u0444 HARVARD UNIVERSITY<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div>                 developingchild.harvard.edu             <\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>,<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>ResearchGate <\/p>\n<p>See discussions, stats, and author profiles for this publication at: https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/253323393 <\/p>\n<p>Promoting Children&apos;s Social and Emotional Development Through Preschool  Education <\/p>\n<p>Article \u00b7 January 2005 <\/p>\n<p>CITATIONS <\/p>\n<p>45 READS <\/p>\n<p>894 <\/p>\n<p>5 authors, including: <\/p>\n<p>William Steven Barnett Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey <\/p>\n<p>Elena Bodrova Tools of the Mind <\/p>\n<p>183 PUBLICATIONS 6,767 CITATIONS 44 PUBLICATIONS 1,167 CITATIONS <\/p>\n<p>SEE PROFILE SEE PROFILE <\/p>\n<p>Deborah J.

Steven Barnett, Elena Bodrova,  Deborah J. Leong, and Deanna Gomby <\/p>\n<p>Children need a combination of intellectual skills, motivational  qualities, and socioemotional skills to succeed in school.1 They  must be able to understand the feelings of others, control their  own feelings and behaviors, and get along with their peers and  teachers. Children need to be able to cooperate, follow directions,  demonstrate self-control, and \u201cpay attention.\u201d Unfortunately,  many students preschool experiences do not fully support their  social and emotional development. This policy brief describes  the importance of social and emotional development for children  in their earliest years and as they grow older and describes the  characteristics of those preschool education programs that  best support these aspects of development. <\/p>\n<p>What We Know: <\/p>\n<p>National Institute for Early Education Research <\/p>\n<p>Contact Us:  120 Albany Street  Suite 500 New Brunswick, NJ 08901 <\/p>\n<p>Tel 732 932-4350 Fax 732 932-4360 <\/p>\n<p>www.nieer.org <\/p>\n<p>THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW JERSEY <\/p>\n<p>RUTGERS <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Kindergarten teachers say that about 20  percent of children entering kindergarten  do not yet have the necessary social and  emotional skills to be \u201cready\u201d for school.  Of very low-income children, as many as  30 percent may not have the necessary skills. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Social and emotional development is  important both in its own right and  because aspects of it facilitate cognitive  development. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 When children are young, the adults  around them (parents, other adult care\u00ad givers, preschool teachers) are the most  important influences on their social and  emotional development. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 High-quality preschool education can sup\u00ad port early development in ways that yield  long-term social and emotional benefits. A  significant part of the long-term economic  pay-off to public investments in high-quali\u00ad ty preschool programs can come from their  social outcomes, including the prevention  of crime and delinquency. <\/p>\n<p>Policy Recommendations: \u2022 Establish as a key goal of preschool  <\/p>\n<p>education programs enhancing social  and emotional development,without de-emphasizing cognitive development.  Both domains are important, and neither  should be sacrificed for the other. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Include in learning standards the  outcomes that preschool programs  are expected to achieve for social  and emotional development. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Expand access to high-quality preschool  education so that more children can benefit  from experiences that will improved their  social and emotional development. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Ensure that preschool education programs  are high-quality because only high-quality  programs adequately support children\u2019s  social and emotional development. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Provide administrators and teachers with  technical assistance and training to help  them implement effective curricula and  teaching practices supporting social and  emotional development.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div>                 http:\/\/www.nieer.org             <\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Knowing the ABCs is not enough. To be prepared for school, children also must be excited and curious  about learning and confident that they can succeed (motivational qualities). They must be able to  understand the feelings of others, control their own feelings and behaviors, and get along with their peers  and teachers (socioemotional skills). Indeed, kindergarten teachers rate these motivational and socioemo-  tional skills as more important to school success than being able to hold a pencil or read.2 They want chil\u00ad dren to be ready for learning\u2014to be able to cooperate, follow directions, demonstrate self-control, and  \u201cpay attention.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, kindergarten teachers report that many  of their students are not socially or emotionally prepared  for the challenges of the new environment.3 Kindergarten  teachers rate about 20 percent of all entering  kindergarteners and 30 percent of very low-income  entering kindergarteners as having poor social  development.4 They enter kindergarten unable to  learn because they cannot pay attention, remember  information on purpose, or function socially in a  school environment.5 The result is growing numbers  of children who are hard to manage in the classroom.6,7  These children cannot get along with each other,  follow directions, or delay gratification. They show  belligerence and aggression in the classroom and  on the playground. The problems begin before  kindergarten: In some studies as many as 32 percent  of preschoolers in Head Start programs have behavioral  problems.8 <\/p>\n<p>The core features of emotional  <\/p>\n<p>development include the ability to  <\/p>\n<p>identify and understand one\u2019s own  <\/p>\n<p>feelings, to accurately read and  <\/p>\n<p>comprehend emotional states in others,  <\/p>\n<p>to manage strong emotions and their  <\/p>\n<p>expression in a constructive manner,  <\/p>\n<p>to regulate one\u2019s own behavior, to  <\/p>\n<p>develop empathy for others and to  <\/p>\n<p>establish and sustain relationships. <\/p>\n<p>\u2014National Scientific Council on the  Developing Child (2005) <\/p>\n<p>These missing social and emotional skills mean that teachers spend too much of their time trying to rein  in unmanageable children and too little time teaching.9 Early childhood teachers report that they are  extremely concerned about growing classroom management problems,10, 11 and that they are ill-equipped  to handle them.12 Kindergarten teachers report that more than half of their students come to school  unprepared for learning academic subjects.13 If these problems are not addressed, the result can be growing  aggression, behavioral problems and, for some, delinquency and crime through the school years and into  adolescence and adulthood. <\/p>\n<p>Promoting Children&apos;s Social and Emotional Development Through Preschool [2]<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Social and Emotional Development: Definitions and Importance Social and emotional development involves the acquisition of a set of skills. Key among them are  the ability to: \u2022 identify and understand one\u2019s own feelings, \u2022 accurately read and comprehend emotional states in others, \u2022 manage strong emotions and their expression in a constructive manner, \u2022 regulate one\u2019s own behavior, \u2022 develop empathy for others, and \u2022 establish and sustain relationships.14 <\/p>\n<p>Each of these skills develops on its own timetable, but the skills build on one another. Very young chil\u00ad dren, for example, have to learn to understand and recognize their own feelings, but then they gradually  learn to associate verbal labels to those feelings, to learn that others have feelings too, and to begin to  empathize with others. As children grow older, they learn to manage their emotions\u2014to shake off feelings  of anxiety, sadness, or frustration, and to delay gratification in order to achieve a goal.15 As adults, those  skills help differentiate the mediocre salesman from the successful one who can read the emotional  response of a prospective client. They help athletes persevere until they win their gold medals. They help  spouses empathize with one another to de-escalate arguments, and they impel good citizens to shy away  from injuring others because they can understand how such actions would cause pain. <\/p>\n<p>One of the most important skills that children develop is self-regulation\u2014the ability to manage one\u2019s  behavior so as to withstand impulses, maintain focus, and undertake tasks even if there are other more  enticing alternatives available. Self-regulation underlies the ability to undertake every task, so that it has  implications for not just how children get along with one another but also how they can focus and learn  in the classroom. (See sidebar, p. 4.) <\/p>\n<p>In short, these skills help promote a range of positive behaviors, beginning before children enter kinder\u00ad garten and extending into adult life. Not surprisingly, when social and emotional development goes awry,  the result can be problems in school and later life. <\/p>\n<p>Problems in Social and Emotional Development: The Beginnings of Aggression Persistent physical aggression, high-school dropout rates, adolescent delinquency, and antisocial behavior  have all been associated with early childhood conduct problems.16 The preschool years are a \u201csensitive  period\u201d for learning to regulate development of aggression.17 Children who exhibit high levels of physical  aggression in elementary school are at the highest risk of engaging in violent behavior as adolescents.  Researchers believe that children with difficult, disruptive behavior (poor social and emotional skills) are  at risk for these later problems for at least three reasons: (1) teachers find it harder to teach them, seeing  them as less socially and academically competent, and therefore provide them with less positive feedback;  (2) peers reject them, which cuts off an important avenue for learning and emotional support; and (3)  children faced with this rejection from peers and teachers tend to dislike school and learning, which leads  to lower school attendance and poorer outcomes.18, 19 <\/p>\n<p>Because difficult behavior exhibits itself early\u2014even before children begin kindergarten\u2014the pattern of  rejection and negative experiences begins early, too.20 The early experience of rejection can have lasting  emotional and behavioral impacts beyond elementary school, creating a downward spiral that becomes  increasingly difficult to reverse. <\/p>\n<p>Promoting Children&apos;s Social and Emotional Development Through Preschool [3]<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Social-Emotional Self-Regulation: A Key to School Readiness <\/p>\n<p>One of the most important skills that children must develop is self-regulation. Self-regulation is  a deep, internal mechanism that underlies the mindful, planful, and thoughtful behaviors of all  children. It underlies performance in all domains, from reading to getting along well with others. <\/p>\n<p>Self-regulation is the capacity to control one\u2019s impulses both to stop doing something that is unnec\u00ad essary (even if one wants to continue doing it), and to start doing something that is needed (even if  one does not want to do it). This ability to inhibit one response and to enact another on-demand is  a skill used in thinking as well as social interactions. The child who does not have self-regulation at 5  years of age is the child who cannot follow the teacher\u2019s directions at age 6 or who cannot plan how  to solve a problem at age 7. The child without self-regulation of emotions at age 4 will not be able to  control his temper at 5 and will have negative peer interactions at age 7. <\/p>\n<p>Self-Regulation and School Readiness Self-regulation is necessary for positive social relations with others and for successful learning. To  learn anything in a school setting, a child has to ignore the child next to him who is fun to play with  and make his mind concentrate on the story the teacher is reading. The abilities to pay attention and  to remember things on purpose are also part of self-regulation.21 <\/p>\n<p>The role of self-regulation in school success\u2014from preschool and kindergarten to middle and high  school\u2014has now been documented in a number of studies.22 Levels of self-regulation actually predict  school success in first grade over and above children\u2019s cognitive skills and family background.23  Cognitive self-regulation is linked with students\u2019 achievement in school.24 Children lacking emotional  self-regulation are at higher risk for disciplinary problems and are less likely to make a successful  transition from preschool to kindergarten.25 Emotional self-regulation seems to play a part in child  resiliency and later adjustment.26 Children who did not learn self-regulation in preschool can turn  into bullies with aggressive habits of interaction that are difficult to break in later years.27, 28 <\/p>\n<p>New studies demonstrate that there is a physiological basis for the development of self-regulation.  Brain research shows that self-regulation is linked to maturation of the prefrontal cortex area of the  brain, which occurs during the preschool years.29, 30 Both emotional and cognitive self-regulation seem  to have the same neural roots, making it possible for children to take control of both their thinking  and their feelings as they grow older and their brains develop. Based on other brain research, we  believe that preschoolers must practice self-regulation if they are to develop finely tuned skills.  Generally, if children do not practice deliberate and purposeful behaviors, traces in the brain are not  reinforced (\u201cuse it or lose it\u201d principle). So, if preschoolers do not practice self-regulation enough,  the related brain areas will not be fully developed, and the end result may be adults who still act like  they are in their \u201cterrible twos.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Practice Makes Perfect Evidence indicates that self-regulation and impulse control does not emerge spontaneously, but is  learned.31 Most important, it can be learned not just in families, but also in preschool classrooms.  In fact, in many good quality programs, children do learn self-regulation. In these high-quality pre\u00ad school programs, teachers set up the preschool environment so that children begin to think ahead,  to plan their activities, and to think about and use strategies to solve social problems.32 <\/p>\n<p>Promoting Children&apos;s Social and Emotional Development Through Preschool [4]<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Without intervention, the troubles born out of problems in social and emotional development create  high costs for society in terms of juvenile delinquency and adult crime. Close to 2.3 million juveniles  were arrested in 2002,33 more than 134,000 juveniles were held in residential facilities in 1999, and about  12,000 juveniles were incarcerated in adult jails or state prisons as of mid-year 2000.34 At year-end 2003,  6.9 million persons (3.2 percent of all U.S. adults) were on probation, parole, or in prison or jail.35 <\/p>\n<p>How Social and Emotional Skills Develop Promoting social and emotional development and preventing problems caused by maladaptive develop\u00ad ment is clearly important to individuals and to society, but how do those socio-emotional skills develop?  They begin with the relationships children form with the people around them, including parents, care\u00ad givers, and peers. <\/p>\n<p>The Role of Parents Parents and families play an enormous role in shaping a child\u2019s social and emotional development. Early  relationships with parents lay the foundation on which social competency and peer relationships are  built. Parents who support positive emotional development interact with their children affectionately;  show consideration for their feelings, desires and needs; express interest in their daily activities; respect  their viewpoints; express pride in their accomplishments; and provide encouragement and support dur\u00ad ing times of stress.36 This support greatly increases the likelihood that children will develop early emo\u00ad tional competence, will be better prepared to enter school, and less likely to display behavior problems at  home and at school.37 This is why many preschool programs include a focus on parent involvement and  parenting education. <\/p>\n<p>The Role of Teachers\/Early Childhood Educators Most children spend many hours each week in the care of someone other than their parents. These care\u00ad givers play the same role in promoting social and emotional development as do parents when children  are young. Just as parents who are warm and responsive are more likely to promote strong social and  emotional skills in their children, so too are early childhood educators and teachers, which means that  the classroom environment must enable teachers the time to focus on individual children.
