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 Sunday.  These ideas come from scholarly sources to personal interviews, from the internet to periodicals to books.     
THE CRITICAL WINDOWS during which the circuits of the brain are being most heavily wired for Musical Development is 3 – 10 years.  The more opportunity children have to experience healthy, positive and nurturing Musical experiences during this critical period, the more efficiently their brains will work over the long run.                     
A FEW DEVELOPMENTAL LEARNING TOOLS (toys and other objects) for Musical development:  * musical instruments  * rattles and other toys for making rhythmic sounds  * items that create gentle, rhythmic sounds  * play phones  * toys that jingle, squeak, chirp, click, snap, ring  * any technology that plays music  * singing toys
GENERAL “MUSIC” TIDBITS:
FROM 12 MONTHS….
*  he listens to short rhymes and watches fingerplays, like “Eensy Weensy Spider.”  
*  she responds rhythmically to music with her whole body by dancing, swaying or wiggling.  
*  he hums or tries to sing and likes short songs.  
*  since she loves repetition, sing the same songs again and again. Repeating songs encourages the use of words and memorization.  
*  offer an oatmeal box drum.
