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 visual experiences during this critical period, the more efficiently their brains will work over the long run.

SOME Life Skills tidbits that are imitative steps toward becoming creative, well-functioning and self-directed:

*  BABY begins picking up pieces of food and stuffing it into her mouth.

*  THEN he drinks from a 2-handled cup with a “spout.”

*  NEXT she uses a spoon or fork.

*  SOON, he scribbles well.

*  SHE brushes her teeth with help.

*  HE pretends to feed a doll.

Here’s a sous-chef basic technique for Your Jr. Chef

From The Kitchen’s Cooking School. “When cutting round, hard vegetables like potatoes, carrots or winter squashes, cut a little sliver off one side first, then rotate the vegetable so that it’s now sitting on this cut side. Doing this little cut will help stabilize the vegetable and keep it from rolling around, making the whole cutting process much easier and safer!”
