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 weekly since 2010. These ideas come from scholarly sources to personal interviews, from the internet to periodicals to books. “VISUAL” DEVELOPMENTAL SKILL DEFINITION: seeing, distinguishing images, focusing on stimuli, tracking images, remembering images, looking at items sequentially, forming mental images. THE ‘CRITICAL WINDOW’ during which the circuits of the brain are being most heavily wired for VISUAL ACUITY is birth – 6 months, and BINOCULAR VISION is 1 – 3 years. The more opportunity children have to experience healthy, positive and nurturing visual experiences during this critical period, the more efficiently their brains will work over the long run. SOME GENERAL Visual tidbits: * WHAT does Baby see? … at birth, black and white (high contrast), … 6 – 8 weeks, colors develop, … months later, primary colors, although reds/pinks/oranges will look the same, … by 1 year old, adult-like color perception. * BY 4 months, she likely can … focus both eyes on 1 object (aligned vision, scanning and tracking) while following vertical motion, … use eyes and hands together, … see and rake objects toward himself, … watch herself as she moves objects from hand to hand. Next week – “Visual,” Pt. 6 Comments to msmarm@roadrunner.com
