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 Kindergarteners from about 5 years: ** WITH DRAMATIC play being more complex, Kindergartener often directs his friends what to do when playing ‘let’s pretend’ – .. “You be the Mom, and I’ll be the Dad.” .. “Let’s play ‘market.'” ** IMITATING the body movements of animals is fun – .. trotting like a horse. .. slithering like a snake. .. hopping like a bunny. .. flying like a bird. ** ROLE-PLAYING activities might include being .. a firefighter. .. a mom or dad. .. a construction worker. .. a chef or cook. .. a truck driver. .. a teacher. .. a singer.

Kindness is always in style While it may be true that actions speak louder than words, words can have a powerful impact. They have the ability to challenge and inspire or tear down and spread negativity. The creators of The Talking Shirt are passionate about creating high quality apparel with positive messages, in hopes that the words people wear will be an extension of who they are and what they stand for. And that ultimately this message of positivity will translate into actions that will change the world. The Talking Shirt’s company motto (which also happens to be one of their most popular tees!) “Kindness is Always in Style” reminds us that treating others with benevolence transcends age, creed, beauty and fashion trends!
