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. “FINE MOTOR” developmental skill definition: controlling and coordinating small muscle movements (dexterity in grasping, pincer movements, lateral movements, squeezing, threading, building, shaking, turning, spinning, pasting, lacing, cutting, drawing, writing, etc.), eye-hand coordination. THE CRITICAL WINDOWS during which the circuits of the brain are being most heavily wired for Fine Motor development is 3 – 10 years. The more opportunity children have to experience healthy, positive and nurturing Fine Motor experiences during this critical period, the more efficiently their brains will work over the long run. A FEW DEVELOPMENTAL LEARNING TOOLS (toys and other objects) for FINE MOTOR development: push and pull toys, hand-held teethers, toys that squeak, rattles, puzzles, sorters and stackers, activity sets, hands-on products, play phones, craft projects, construction sets, cause-and-effect investigative toys. Some “FINE MOTOR” tidbits: ** BETWEEN 9 – 12 mo, .. the preference for the right or left hand is emerging .. the dominant hand will be more dexterous and strong. .. the pincer grasp is being perfected. ** CLOSER to 2 – 3 years, true left- or right-handedness develops.
