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: EMPATHY, ENVY” development is about 2 years – 9 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: EMPATHY, ENVY tidbits:


*  NEAR 4 years old, preschooler is beginning to reason and try new things, but reasoning takes practice, so be patient with some of the strange notions he insists are ‘right.’


*  FROM 4 years, she is capable of feeling jealousy. In general, emotions can range widely and be felt intensely.


*  EXPRESSING anger verbally rather than physically most of the time, he may still throw ‘control tantrums’ over minor frustrations.


Next week – “Social/Emotional: Empathy, Envy” Pt. 5

Your Jr. Chef can be a chocolatier with Molten Chocolate Babycakes


Think warm, gooey brownie on the inside and crackly cake on the outside. Easy and can be prepared in advance (up to the baking stage). A secret to this success involves cutting baking parchment circles to line the base of each custard cup. Melt the chocolate, combine with the rest of the ingredients to make the batter, fill the cups, bake, and immediately tip these luscious babycakes onto small plates or shallow bowls. Topping options include whipped cream, crème fraîche, ice cream. From Nigella Lawson. Parental supervision.
