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. “CREATIVITY” involves imagination, ingenuity, invention/originality, creative thinking, dramatic/visual/musical arts. THE “CRITICAL WINDOW” during which the circuits of the brain are being most heavily wired for CREATIVITY is 1 – 4 years with lifelong expression. The more opportunity children have to experience healthy, positive and nurturing Creative experiences during this critical period, the more efficiently their brains will work over the long run. FORMS of creativity: 2- and 3-Dimensional ART, Written/Spoken LANGUAGE, MOVEMENT / MUSIC using the body, Imaginative-Pretending FANTASY. Some general “Creativity: MOVEMENT / MUSIC” tidbits: ** MUSIC / MOVEMENT – the expression of ideas and feelings using bodily movements like .. singing, playing instruments, drumming/rhythm activities (fine motor and/or gross motor + auditory development) .. dancing and using the body and its parts to make movements – whole body including leaping like a frog swaying back and forth like the wind exploring ways to make a circle with the whole body – with arms/hands: clapping, waving, throwing, catching – with legs: jumping, kicking, skipping, running, stomping ** BY 12 MONTHS, .. Baby will respond to music with body motions like – swaying – swooping – swinging. .. With new mobility – give her freedom to move around – free your environment of obstacles, preferably with a cushioned floor. Next week – “Creativity: MUSIC / MOVEMENT, pt. 2” msmarm@roadrunner.com
