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.


“LIFE SKILLS” DEVELOPMENTAL SKILL DEFINITION: personal care, responsibility, self-reliance, invention, resourcefulness, ingenuity.  


THE “CRITICAL WINDOW” during which the circuits of the brain are being most heavily wired for LIFE SKILLS begins at birth. The more opportunity children have to experience healthy, positive and nurturing life skills opportunities during this critical period, the more efficiently their brains will work over the long run.


A FEW DEVELOPMENTAL LEARNING TOOLS (toys and other objects) for LIFE SKILLS:  


* toys and objects used to investigate and explore


* toys and objects for classification, categorization, comparison


* dolls/stuffed animals


* puzzles


* play-safe silverware and dishes (made for children)


* toy cars


* toy phone


* construction or building toys


* craft projects


* costumes and props


* play figures/structures involving 2 or more players


* child-sized replicas of adult tools (for activities like measuring, gardening, constructing, cooking, etc.)
