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 weekly since 2010. These ideas come from scholarly sources to personal interviews, from the internet to periodicals to books. “CREATIVITY” involves imagination, ingenuity, invention/originality, creative thinking, dramatic/visual/musical arts. THE “CRITICAL WINDOW” during which the circuits of the brain are being most heavily wired for CREATIVITY is 1 – 4 years with lifelong expression. The more opportunity children have to experience healthy, positive and nurturing Creative experiences during this critical period, the more efficiently their brains will work over the long run. FORMS of creativity: 2- and 3-Dimensional ART, Written/Spoken LANGUAGE, MOVEMENT / MUSIC using the body, Imaginative-Pretending FANTASY. Some general “Creativity: MOVEMENT / MUSIC” tidbits: ** FROM ABOUT 5 years, .. rhythmic movement to music is important: – jump, hop, skip, dance, tiptoe and march. – move the whole body to dramatize .. the opening of a flower .. falling snow, falling leaves, falling rain. .. wiggling worms, snakes. .. consider gymnastics. .. making up songs comes naturally, so provide accompanying rhythm/percussion instruments like – oatmeal canisters/metal bowls and wooden spoons, – a set of bells, – a taped-closed cereal box with 3 in-shell walnuts inside. .. play “Follow the Leader” including movements of skipping, trotting, hopping. .. explore expression of more complex creative movement responding to loud/soft or fast/slow music by – demonstrating happy, sad, scared, angry, sneaky, – demonstrating cold, being very small/big, being explosive.

Sister’s Heartfelt FDA Presentation – Neck/Back Pain ESI Warning Pls watch short video. Sister shares brothers heartbreaking story while invited to speak at an FDA-Advisory Committee Hearing addressing the Safety & Efficacy of Epidural Steroid Injections after her brother had sustained severe injury/death following just one visit to a pain management doctor who administered ESI’s of DepoMedrol. The same month/year as his death, DepoMedrol was justly labeled with a “Contraindication” for epidural administration by Pfizer/NewZealand with a Warning; it “MUST NOT be used by epidural route”. Yet Pfizer’s DepoMedrol is still allowed to be used for ESIs on unaware Americans every day. She pleaded for the same warnings/drug labeling to be made here in USA.
