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 every Sunday. These ideas come from scholarly sources to personal interviews, from the internet to periodicals to books.

THE CRITICAL WINDOW during which the circuits of the brain are being most heavily wired for “Social/Emotional: Social Attachment” development is birth to 18 months. The more opportunity children have for positive social attachment experiences during this critical period, the more efficiently their brains will work over the long run. SOME DEVELOPMENTAL LEARNING TOOLS (toys and other objects) for Social/Emotional skill development: * stuffed animals * dolls * objects involving photos * puppets * cars and airplanes * play figures * art materials * musical instruments * household/realistic toys * costumes * keepsake products * games involving 2 or more players Some “SOCIAL/EMOTIONAL: SOCIAL ATTACHMENT” tidbits: * HUGGING AND changing her position once in a while, hold Baby often, cuddling and rocking her. * SMILE AND TALK to him in a soothing way while you sing, dance, rock, read or talk. * TO AVOID physical and emotional stress responses, always touch, hold and move Baby gently.
