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. DEVELOPMENTAL Skill Definition, SOCIAL/EMOTIONAL: bonding, building relationships, appreciating differences, self-esteem, self-expression, responsibility, self-reliance, resourcefulness. 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: * HOLD BABY when he needs to be held. Don’t be afraid this will “spoil” him – when you care for and respond to him and he feels connected with, he will likely be less demanding during the toddler years. * BEING HELD and cuddled frequently is extremely important in the development of her sense of self-worth and security. * Holding, cuddling and slowly rocking Baby is also a great stress release for an adult!
