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. DEVELOPMENTAL Skill Definition, SOCIAL/EMOTIONAL: bonding, building relationships, appreciating differences, self-esteem, self-expression, responsibility, self-reliance, resourcefulness, curiosity, motivation, persistence, self-control. THE CRITICAL WINDOW during which the circuits of the brain are being most heavily wired for “Social/Emotional: Stress Response” is birth to about 3 years. The more opportunity children have for positive social-emotional experiences during this critical period, the more efficiently their brains will work over the long run. Some “SOCIAL/EMOTIONAL: STRESS RESPONSE” tidbits: * BABY’S EARLY CARE will affect how he develops, learns, copes with and handles emotions. * STICKING WITH the same caregiver(s) as much as possible supports and helps develop “emotional competence” (evolves as dependable adults model how to express and communicate emotions effectively forming close/secure interpersonal relationships, self-regulate and make friends). * IN A CHILDCARE SETTING, be aware that Baby may react differently to the childcare giver than to the parent. Discuss this possibility. Next week — “Social/Emotional: Stress Response, Pt. 2 Email msmarm@roadrunner.com
