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. 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” development 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: * FEELING IMPORTANT from a young age fosters “emotional competence,” which involves self-motivation and the abilities to ….stick to a task, ….understand others, ….build trusting relationships, ….cope with stress and ….manage strong feelings. * EMOTIONAL COMPETENCE is developed by ….hugs rather than stern words ….patience and warmth ….mirroring appropriate modeling and ….success experiences. * YOUR CHILD feels important when you look at her, respond directly to her, listen to what she has to say, and answer her questions. * THE CONSEQUENCES of a child feeling Unimportant negatively affects a lifetime of relationships, starting with ‘self.’ Next week – “Social/Emotional: STRESS RESPONSE” Pt. 6 Comment to msmarm@roadrunner.com
