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: FANTASY” tidbits:

**  FANTASY expresses ideas and feelings through pretending:

    –  “make-believe”

    –  day-dreaming

    –  talking with imaginary companions (people, animals, creatures)

    –  reading fantasy books.

**  FANTASY play, CREATIVE play, and IMAGINATIVE play

    –  come naturally.

    –  allow Toddlers and Preschoolers to feel powerful and in control

        through healthy emotional development .

   –  can stimulate

        ..  physical growth, like playing superheroes or music video stars.

        ..  social growth with imaginary play pretending to be a teacher,

            parent or doctor.

Next week – “Creativity: Fantasy, pt. 2”
