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.

THE CRITICAL WINDOWS during which the circuits of the brain are being most heavily wired for MUSIC development is 3 – 10 years. The more opportunity children have to experience healthy, positive and nurturing MUSIC experiences during this critical period, the more efficiently their brains will work over the long run.    

A FEW DEVELOPMENTAL LEARNING TOOLS (toys and other objects) for MUSICAL development: rattles and other toys for making rhythmic sounds, any objects that create gentle/rhythmic sounds, toys that jingle/squeak/chirp/click/snap/ring, singing toys, play phones, musical instruments, any technology that plays music.            

Some “MUSIC” tidbits:

**  MUSIC helps children..              

     *  learn new words and ideas.

     *  express emotions.

     *  bond and have lifelong sensory associations with parents.

     *  gain confidence.

     *  release energy and channel it in creative, productive directions.

**  TRYING sleep training?

     *  The idea is to signal that a certain set of sounds means sleep.          

     *  Play specific music with low sound and slow tempos.

     *  Keep the room dark, preferably no light at all, not even a night light or low

          lamp (darkness signals the brain that it’s night, therefore, time to sleep; 

          humans sense light through their closed eyelids!).

     *  Play a few songs in the dark, and turn off the music BEFORE Baby falls asleep.

     *  Repeat nightly.

Upcoming – “Music, pt. 4”
