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 on Jen’s List since 2010. These ideas come from scholarly sources to personal interviews, from the internet to periodicals to books.
9- to 12-month-old SKILL DEVELOPMENT discussion:
* BABY’S problem-solving skills are improving.
– He’ll take the lid off a clear container to get the toy
he sees inside rather than trying to reach through
the lid. (tactile, visual, thinking/learning)
– Using tape or contact paper or velcro, stick toys
to a hard floor, and let her figure out how to pull
the items off (and you re-stick for more fun).
(tactile, visual, fine/gross motor, thinking/learning)
* HE’S excited about the freedom of movement and
mobility on all 4s or on 2 feet, so
– place objects just out of reach, and encourage
Baby to retrieve them. (visual, fine/gross motor,
thinking/learning)
– make an obstacle course out of chairs, couches,
large boxes and draped blankets. (tactile, visual,
gross/fine motor, thinking/learning)
* Q: What do we mean by Developmental Skills?
A: (in no special order) tactile, visual, auditory, gross
and fine motor, social/emotional, creativity, life skills,
language and vocabulary, math/logic
(thinking/learning) and music.
* BEGIN to build a “learning library” of “developmental
learning tools” designed to grow as Baby grows:
– consider choosing toys (Learning Tools) with
multiple features and developmental skill
elements that stimulate Baby AND (your future)
Toddler AND Preschooler;
– ex. Baby may stack 2 blocks at 6 mo, and make
structural creations with lots of blocks later.
