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 weekly since 2010. These ideas come from scholarly sources to personal interviews, from the internet to periodicals to books. “LIFE SKILLS” DEVELOPMENTAL SKILL DEFINITION: personal care, responsibility, self-reliance, invention, resourcefulness, ingenuity. THE “CRITICAL WINDOW” during which the circuits of the brain are being most heavily wired for LIFE SKILLS begins at birth. 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 Life Skills tidbits: * OFFERING choices is a powerful self-esteem builder – Toddler can tell you if she wants ..to wear red or blue today ..a banana or a cracker ..to “read” This book or That book or both. * COUNT, count, count – count down as often as you count up (theory: equally “grease the ‘counting’ wheel” both ways). ..forward / up = addition. ..backward \ down = subtraction. ..counting up – 1, 2, 3; counting down – 3, 2, 1. ..some things to count: ..flowers and leaves ..peas and kernels of corn ..shoes and socks ..people at the park (adults and children, boys and girls) Next week – Life Skills, pt. 8 Questions?
