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, curiosity, motivation, persistence, self-control. THE CRITICAL WINDOW during which the circuits of the brain are being most heavily wired for “SOCIAL/EMOTIONAL: EMPATHY, ENVY” development is about 2 years – 9 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: EMPATHY, ENVY tidbits: From 5 years old, Preschooler * EXPRESSES anger and jealousy physically. * IS sometimes critical of other children. * IS sometimes embarrassed by his own mistakes. * LIKES to feel grown up and may boast about herself to younger, less capable children. * BECOMES competitive and likes to test his muscular strength and motor skills, but he’s NOT Ready Emotionally for competition.

I had the best experience at Westside Tile and Stone, Inc. and wanted to share “I randomly wondered into this 9300 square foot award winning showroom last summer to find an entire team of experienced in-house designers that were willing to help me find what I needed. They represent 250+ different suppliers of exquisite tile and stone materials. They have earned a reputation for its vast selection, superb customer service, and technical knowledge. They can turn even the smallest bathrooms/kitchens into marvelous creations. The store has all setting materials and tools needed for all types of installations; commercial or residential, as well as an extensive list of licensed contractors that have been working with them for 15+ years. I HIGHLY recommend!” ~Jen Levinson
