Children making play dough (from
Baby and Wee class )
Here are the parts of the brain that
is being developed during this activity.
Brocas
area-Controls the production spoken and
written language
Cerebullum- responsible for intitiating and timing movements and it is
important for balance, posture and coordinating how muscles work together
Frontal Lobe-is involved in critical
thinking ,problem solving ,planning reasoning and decision making
Motor cortex –responsible for motor
coordination
Limbic system - register and stores
emotional information ( a child may be crying).
The is a small example of the
different skills that this activity helps to build.

Self regulation birth to about 4 months: the ability to
control your emotions based on your age
During this stage your baby is taking interest in sight, sounds,
touch, smell and movements. You should play children’s music for your baby this
begins building your baby’s listening skills. This is a very important skill
for school. Music also helps with brain development. Play a variety of music
for example: Punta, reggae, salsa, Jazz, High Life etc. The music should not be
blasting.
Your baby should sleep on her back but you should give her
tummy time on her stomach daily, this helps with movements and builds upper
body strength for your baby to begin crawling. Also stretch your baby’s joints
after each bath.
These developmental
processes are natural however; if you do not give your baby the
opportunity their brain sections responsible for these stages will not connect.
Research shows that at this early stage children
respond to care differently. This behavior is called temperament. Some babies
do not like bright light, some babies do not like to be held, while others
enjoy being held. Some babies can sooth themselves while others need a
caregiver to sooth them. During these times you need to help your baby to
gradually learn how to self-regulate. You should observe your baby this way you
will be able to read her cues.
Being able to calm yourself down is very important . It minimize the tantrums that will happen later on . Talking your baby through these emotions also helps.
