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 on Jen’s List since 2010. These ideas come from scholarly sources to personal interviews, from the internet to periodicals to books.
6- to 9-month-old SKILL DEVELOPMENT discussion:
* Q: What do we mean by Developmental Skills?
A: (in no special order) tactile, visual, auditory, gross
and fine motor, social/emotional, creativity, life skills,
language and vocabulary, math/logic
(thinking/learning) and music.
* BEGIN to build a “learning library” of “developmental
learning tools” designed to grow as Baby grows:
– consider choosing toys (Learning Tools) with
multiple features and developmental skill
elements that stimulate Baby AND (your future)
Toddler AND Preschooler;
– ex. Baby may stack 2 blocks at 6 months old, and
structural creations with lots of blocks can be built
later.
* BABY’s play is becoming more vigorous (gross
motor, tactile, auditory, thinking/learning):
– banging a spoon against pots and pans.
– rattling keys.
– grabbing 2 toys and slamming them together.
* FINE motor/dexterity evidence: picking up a raisin.
* OBJECT permanence is established:
– Baby’s now aware that objects still exist even
when he can’t see or feel them.
– if she misses a favorite stuffed animal and can’t
see it, she’ll look for it.
