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 Monday. 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, curiosity, motivation, persistence, self-control. THE CRITICAL WINDOW during which the circuits of the brain are being most heavily wired for “SOCIAL/EMOTIONAL: STRESS RESPONSE” development is birth to about 3 years. The more opportunity children have for positive social-emotional experiences during this critical period, the more efficiently their brains will work over the long run. Some Social/Emotional: STRESS RESPONSE tidbits: * STAY WITH Toddler when someone new is around. Encourage strangers to approach slowly. * INTRODUCE strangers by name (indicates familiarity), and let your child explore someone new feeling safe with you nearby. * KEEP DANGEROUS OBJECTS out of Toddler’s reach and safe ones within it – this minimizes your running around saying ‘NO’ every time he touches something that could harm him.

Your Jr. Chef can make Easy BBQ Baby Back Pork Ribs It’s never too early to start on the road to becoming a grill master! This oven-to-grill method can be done in stages, so there’s no need to baby-sit the ribs. First, coat them with a sweetly spiced rub after removing membrane on back (step-by-step pix), then roast in the oven in foil packets (pix) while you make a simple barbecue sauce. You can prepare to this point up to 2 days ahead. When ready to serve, throw the ribs on the grill, brush (pastry or bbq basting brush) with sauce, and let the heat turn the sauce into a sticky glaze. Can you see all those sticky fingers around the table? Parental supervision. http://www.chow.com/recipes/30741-easy-bbq-baby-back-pork-ribs
