As well as being a skill we all need to use to interact with other people turn taking is an important pre-verbal skill.
Turn taking is a necessary skill in conversation but it doesn't happen automatically. Children need to learn it and practice it.
Some games to help
your child learn turn taking skills
+peek-a-boo
+rolling a ball or car to your little one and encouraging them to roll it back to you ( "your turn", "my turn", "your turn" etc)
+take turns to post a picture in a toy letterbox
+take turns to roll a ball to knock down some skittles.
+take turns to blow bubbles.
