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. “AUDITORY” DEVELOPMENTAL SKILL DEFINITION: distinguishing similarities and differences between sounds, integrating hearing with the act of listening, remembering the order of sounds, learning verbal communication. THE ‘CRITICAL WINDOW’ during which the circuits of the brain are being most heavily wired for the “AUDITORY” sense is from prenatal. The more opportunity children have for positive “Auditory” (sound) experiences during this critical period, the more efficiently their brains will work over the long run. More general AUDITORY tidbits: * OUR BRAINS hone in on the sounds that make up words – not the words themselves – and build connections that allow us to retrieve those sounds as our vocabulary grows. * IF SOMETHING consistently interrupts hearing within Baby’s first 2 years, such as chronic ear infections, speech will not develop properly. * CLOSE TO 1 year, if he seems uninterested in relating to you or others, Baby may have a hearing problem – consult your doctor. Next week – “Auditory,” Pt. 4 Comments to msmarm@roadrunner.com
