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 for Toddlers from about 3 years: ** TELL “WHAT IF” stories. (Do NOT use scary scenarios.) Ask .. “If a kitty were happy, how would a she act?” .. “If it started to rain while you’re playing outside, what would you do?” .. “If you found a puppy in a box at the front door, what would you think?” ** KEEP A SPECIAL BOX with costume materials for imaginative play – .. scarves .. short-sleeved shirts .. grown-up shoes (low heels!) .. bracelet beads on elastic .. hats/caps .. clothing contributions from grandma/grandpa, etc. ** CONTINUE TO talk about feelings .. Toddler’s .. siblings’ .. other people’s .. children’s as well as adults’ feelings Next – “Creativity: Fantasy, Pt. 5” Email msmarm@roadrunner.com any questions.

Stress Out. Mom’s show stress who’s the boss It is vastly uncontested that Moms have the most underpaid and stressful job! Reports indicate that Moms find their best support from other moms, those who have felt and are handling the same familiar stressors. This book does not contain what you should do, or condemn you for what you are or are not doing. This book is a collection of stories from Moms who have been-there-done-that. The stories are humorous, entertaining and educational. These stories may not make your child go to bed on time, eat their vegetables, stop pestering the dog or quit taunting their siblings. However, it may give you a break from your day, a smile when you need one and an idea or two from someone else’s experience. http://momsshowstresswhosboss.com/preorder/
