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.


“LANGUAGE/VOCABULARY” DEVELOPMENTAL SKILL DEFINITION: developing communications skills; articulating thoughts, feelings, needs; speaking, listening, reading, comprehending, writing, and spelling.


THE CRITICAL WINDOW during which the circuits of the brain are being most heavily wired for LANGUAGE/VOCABULARY: “Vocabulary” development is 2 years through adult. The more opportunity children have for positive language/vocabulary experiences during this critical period, the more efficiently their brains will work over the long run.


Some Language/Vocabulary: “Vocabulary,” Pt. 5 tidbits for building a strong foundation for reading and literacy:


By 3 years old, Toddler


*  ADJUSTS his tone, speech patterns and vocabulary to his conversation partner; for instance, he uses simpler words with a peer but will be more verbal with you.


*  CARRIES on a sustained conversation.


*  ACCEPTS suggestions and follows simple directions.


Next week – Language/Vocabulary: “Vocabulary,” Pt. 6
