Play and Grow Smart-er Tips


Nancy Pyne-Hapke, author of “Play and Grow Smart, A Guide Supporting Brain Development, Birth through Five,” has been giving tips to aid your child’s optimum skill development through proactive neuroscience-based activities every Monday.  These ideas come from scholarly sources to personal interviews, from the internet to periodicals to books.


“VISUAL” DEVELOPMENTAL SKILL DEFINITION: seeing, distinguishing images, focusing on stimuli, tracking images, remembering images, looking at items sequentially, forming mental images.


THE ‘CRITICAL WINDOW’ during which the circuits of the brain are being most heavily wired for VISUAL  ACUITY is birth – 6 months, and BINOCULAR VISION is 1 – 3 years.  The more opportunity children have to experience healthy, positive and nurturing visual experiences during this critical period, the more efficiently their brains will work over the long run.


SOME GENERAL Visual tidbits:


*  AT BIRTH, vision is the least mature of the senses.


*  VISUAL stimuli in the first 6 months creates PERMANENT neural connections.


*  Early permanent VISUAL neural connections lead to physical accomplishments –


    … sitting


    … rolling over


    … crawling


    … walking.


* 80% OF learning in a child’s first 12 years comes through the eyes.


Next week – “Visual,” Pt. 3

“Sight: The Story of Vision”


A feature length documentary that will present the past, present and future of sight. It is set of multimedia products built on the linked-pathway model developed for the $3M National Science Foundation project 400 Years of the Telescope that included a PBS documentary, planetarium program, website, and educational outreach components. The project’s final evaluation supported the hypothesis that multiple, linked learning pathways provide an effective and efficient means of increasing public awareness and understanding of science facts and issues, as well as a way to reach more diverse audiences. http://storyofsight.com/
