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: * SINCE THERE IS emotional security in routines, develop and keep rituals and daily routines. Sing softly while putting Baby down for a nap. After a bath, read Toddler a book. Have a quiet activity at bedtime. Remind Preschooler to put her dinner plate on the kitchen counter. * NEAR 3 YEARS, if he throws a doll at his sister because he wants to play with her game, Toddler needs to know why he shouldn’t throw it and needs to know he can’t have what he wants all the time. Say, “Please don’t throw the doll – it could hurt someone. You could use blocks to make a house for the doll. Later you can play the game when your sister finishes.” * YOUR BALANCED AND LOVING GUIDANCE will teach that being ‘civilized’ gets more satisfying attention than being uncontrolled and wild.

Delicious Heart Healthy Summer Recipe Spinach, Grapefruit and Shrimp Salad Did you Know that Red Grapefruit packs antioxidant power and possibly more heart benefits than the white grapefruit. In a preliminary 30-day test of 57 people with heart disease, those eating one red grapefruit daily decreased their LDL (bad) cholesterol by 20 percent and decreased triglycerides by 17 percent. And it is rich in Vitamin C-rich. The only way the body can get vitamin C is through food, such as citrus fruits, or supplements. http://wellnessthymewithcarol.wordpress.com/2013/06/11/spinach-grapefruit-and-shrimp-salad/
