Early Brain Development: Nurturing the Brain!

Page 12: Goose 2.0 Victoria: Complete Presentation

A  few  facts….  

•   At  birth,  a  baby’s  brain  contains  100  billion  neurons  

 

•  At  birth  the  brain  is  25%  of  it’s  adult  weight;  by  age  2,  it  is  75%  of  it’s  adult  weight.  

 

•  As  a  child  grows,  the  number  of  neurons  remains  rela?vely  stable,  but  each  cell  grows,  becoming  bigger  and  heavier.

Three Brains in One!

The executive part of the brain manages attention, emotions,

and behavior. It weaves together social, emotional, and intellectual

capacities in order to help us reach our

goals.!!!!!

!Pulling

together feeling and

thinking helps people reflect, plan,

and evaluate.!

Synaptic Density

From Rethinking the Brain: New Insights into Early Development by Rima Shore (NY: Families and Work Institute, 1997)

Synaptic Density: Synapses are created with astonishing speed in the first three years of life. For the rest of the first decade, children’s brains have twice as many synapses as adults’ brains. (Drawing supplied by H.T. Chugani) !

Page 24: Goose 2.0 Victoria: Complete Presentation

Role of Experience!

•  Repeated use strengthens brain connections!

•  If connections are not used, they are “pruned” away!

•  The brain “grows itself” for the environment it experiences!

•  Most of this experience-based growth occurs in the cortex (the “executive

brain”)!

Page 25: Goose 2.0 Victoria: Complete Presentation

Experiences that Strengthen Connections!

•  Are frequent, regular, and predictable!•  Occur in the context of a warm,

supportive relationship!•  Are associated with positive emotion (fun,

excitement, humor, comfort)!•  Involve several senses!

•  Are responsive to the child’s interests or initiative!

Activate – response Impress -- memory

Page 30: Goose 2.0 Victoria: Complete Presentation

Music Helps Children Develop!

•  Physically!•  Mentally!

•  Emotionally!•  Socially!

•  Aesthetically!

“The basic elements of the Listen – Like – Learn program are the basic elements of music, which are: singing, movement, rhythm and melody, and these elements can only be introduced successfully if, at the same time, the

children are learning to listen” (Cass-Beggs 1986, 21).!

Page 31: Goose 2.0 Victoria: Complete Presentation

Musical experiences!

• Trigger speech development!• Improve concentration!• Stimulate learning !• Enrich vocabulary!

Page 32: Goose 2.0 Victoria: Complete Presentation

Movement Movement is responsible for physical!changes in the brain that can lead to!higher intelligence !

! Movement provides an ! outlet for expression of! emotions!

Page 33: Goose 2.0 Victoria: Complete Presentation

Play! - Playing helps children cope

with everyday pressures!- Social play strengthens and

builds friendships and attachments!- Imaginative play develops creative

problem solving skills!- Physical play helps children to develop

gross and fine motor skills as well as balance and coordination.!

Page 34: Goose 2.0 Victoria: Complete Presentation

Hydra0on  

•  Nerve  transmission  is  heavily  dependent  upon  water    

•  Many  parts  of  the  brain  draw  much  of  their  energy  from  water  

•  Drinking  water  keeps  the  brain  hydrated  which  boosts  learning  and  performance  

•  Dehydra?on  results  in  difficulty  learning  and  poor  performance  

•  Water  is  vital  to  energy  produc?on  in  cells,  in  overall  metabolism,  and  neurotransmission.    

Page 35: Goose 2.0 Victoria: Complete Presentation

Science tells us !•  Gene expression is affected by

environmental influences!!

•  Positive experiences contribute to the formation of well-functioning neural circuits!

!

•  In cases of excessive childhood stress, chemicals are released in the brain that damage it’s developing architecture.!

Page 36: Goose 2.0 Victoria: Complete Presentation

•  Indicate that parents need specialized skills to meet their children’s needs

•  Support early emphasis on academic skills

Early Brain Development Research  Does Not...  

Page 37: Goose 2.0 Victoria: Complete Presentation

Early Brain Development Research Does...

•  Support an emphasis on nurturing and early relationships

•  Indicate that early experiences influence which brain connections are kept and

which are pruned away

•  Indicate that optimal brain development requires consistent, responsive, and affectionate caregiving.

Page 38: Goose 2.0 Victoria: Complete Presentation

Relationships Matter!

•  Securely attached toddlers show more confident exploration and mastery in

new situations!•  Adults who are more emotionally

responsive and offer verbal and cognitive stimulation enhance

children’s development!

Raver, 2002

What  is  new  media?  

•  Not  just  tablets  &  apps:  any  emergent  educa?onal  technology    

•  Content  crea?on  via  camera,  video,  microphone  &  wri?ng/drawing  &  book  crea?on  tools,  etc.    

•  Mul?media/Transmedia    •  Wearable  Tech  

Page 40: Goose 2.0 Victoria: Complete Presentation

New  Media  is:  

•  Manipulated    •  Networkable    •  Dense  •  Compressible  •  Interac?ve    

Page 41: Goose 2.0 Victoria: Complete Presentation

What’s  happening  right  now?  

 •  What  are  the  current  controversies?  

•  What  have  your  heard  or  read  about  lately  

•  What’s  brewing  at  Li#leeLit  ...  

Page 42: Goose 2.0 Victoria: Complete Presentation

Concerns  about  new  media  &  children  

•  Commercial  messages  •  Displacement  of  ?me  

doing  other  things  •  Eye/Neck/Body/Brain  

strain  •  Less  crea?ve  and  open-­‐

ended  play  

• Less  ?me  running  around  outside  

• Sleep  disrup?ons  • Age  inappropriate  content  

• Under  2s  (AAP)  

Page 43: Goose 2.0 Victoria: Complete Presentation

These  concerns  are  all  valid  

•  How  can  children’s  librarians  provide  guidance  for  the  use  of  new  formats  given  that  we  have  no  long  term  research  on  the  effects  of  mobile  media  with  young  children?

NAEYC/Fred  Rogers  

• When  used  inten?onally  and  appropriately,  technology  and  interac?ve  media  are  effec?ve  tools  to  support  learning  and  development  

•  Inten?onal  use  requires  early  childhood  teachers  and  administrators  to  have  informa?on  and  resources  regarding  the  nature  of  these  tools  and  the  implica?ons  of  their  use  with  children

Guiding  Principles  

Page 53: Goose 2.0 Victoria: Complete Presentation

Guiding  Principles  to  Focus  on  

•  Focus  on  the  parent-­‐child  rela?onship  •  Recognize  what  you  bring  to  the  interac?on  •  Be  willing  to  discuss  ma#ers  that  go  beyond  

your  tradi?onal  role  

Page 54: Goose 2.0 Victoria: Complete Presentation

Social and Emotional Growth go hand in hand with cognitive

development •  Early  years  lay  the  founda?on  for          many  social  and  emo?onal  skills  that  are          linked  to  success  in  learning  and  rela?onships  

•  These  skills  are  reflected  in  what  we  know  about  brain  development  and  are  shaped  by  experiences.  

•  All  our  programs  need  to  support  both  social/emo?onal  and  cogni?ve  development

MGOL  Technology  Use  Statement  

• Technology  handled  with  careful  considera?on,  in  modera?on,  in  ways  that  fit  in  with  the  program's  intent  and  don't  overwhelm,  that  enhance  but  don't  replace,  and  that  encourage  parent/child  interac?on  are  appropriate  for  use  in  Mother  Goose  on  the  Loose  programs.  

Page 58: Goose 2.0 Victoria: Complete Presentation

Children’s  Librarians  Must  Engage  with  New  Media  for  Young  

Children  •  Ubiquity  of  tablet  technology  •  Whether  it’s  good  for  kids  or  not,  parents  are  

handing  the  devices  over  •  Access  to  content  (mul?lingual,  diverse,  high  

quality)  •  Societal  need  for  Media  Mentorship    •  Poten?al  to  increase  the  overall  quality  of  

content  

Page 59: Goose 2.0 Victoria: Complete Presentation
Page 60: Goose 2.0 Victoria: Complete Presentation
Page 61: Goose 2.0 Victoria: Complete Presentation

Joint  Media  Engagement  

• The  New  Co-­‐viewing  (Joan  Ganz  Cooney  Center)  

• Bringing  families  together  around  new  forms  of  media  

• New  media  can  serve  as  a  focal  point  for  interac?on,  not  the  end  goal  

Page 62: Goose 2.0 Victoria: Complete Presentation

Parent  Learning  

• Support  parents  to  be  their  child's  first  and  best  teacher  

• To  do  that  they  have  to  learn  some  skills  and  gain  some  tools  

• The  use  of  digital  media  can  support  THEIR  learning  process  

Page 63: Goose 2.0 Victoria: Complete Presentation

Avoiding  App  Mania  

• Just  because  you're  going  to  model  intelligent  use  of  new  media  does  NOT  mean  everything  you  do  has  to  be  app-­‐based  

• Present  stories,  songs  &  rhymes  in  lots  of  different  ways;  use  new  media  in  a  way  that  supports  engagement  and  does  not  distract

What is school readiness?!

Put on your thinking cap; let’s take a quiz!!

Page 93: Goose 2.0 Victoria: Complete Presentation

Uses pencils and paint brushes ___ Enthusiastic and curious ____ Pays attention ____ Knows letters of the alphabet ____ Can follow directions ____ Is sensitive to other’s feelings _____ Takes turns and shares ____ Can count to 20 or more ____ Identifies primary colors and basic shapes ____ Verbally communicates thoughts ____ Is not disruptive in class ____

The National Center for Educational Statistics KTSSR 1993

Page 94: Goose 2.0 Victoria: Complete Presentation

Verbally communicates thoughts (84%) Enthusiastic and curious (76%) Can follow directions (60%) Is not disruptive in class (60%) Is sensitive to other’s feelings (58%) Takes turns and shares (56%) Pays attention (42%) Identifies primary colors and basic shapes (24%) Uses pencils and paint brushes (21%) Knows letters of the alphabet (10%) Can count to 20 or more (7%)

The National Center for Educational Statistics KTSSR 1993

Page 95: Goose 2.0 Victoria: Complete Presentation

School readiness is NOT just based on academic skills like knowing letters,

numbers or shapes, or even how to hold a pencil.!

Scientific knowledge is crystal clear: cognitive, emotional, and social!

competence evolve hand in hand.!

How you feel affects how you learn!

Research suggests that children who had been read to on a regular basis in an

unfriendly, pressured or threatening home environment actually developed strong

negative reactions to books. These findings indicate that it is better not to

read to a child at all at home rather than read to him or her in a resentful or

coercive and harsh manner. (Bus, Belsky, van Ijzendoorn, & Crnic 1997)!

Bellybutton Song !Heather Bishop!

Chorus: Bellybutton, bellybutton, oh my bellybutton,!Oh my bellybutton, I love you.!

!

Oh how sad, how lonely I would be,!When I lifted up my shirt if I didn’t see… (chorus)!

!

You’re the only friend I have, the one who really cares.!Every time I need you, you’re always there…. (chorus)!

!

When things get down, looking kinda grim, !I simply lift up my shirt and stick my finger in! (chorus)!

!

There’s one thing, I would like to say, !I think that there should be, a Bellybutton day – a holiday! (chorus)!

Page 154: Goose 2.0 Victoria: Complete Presentation

On the Kindergarten Wall!Of all the things you learn here, remember these the best.!

Don’t hurt each other!Clean up your mess.!Take a nap every day!Wash before you eat!

Hold hands!Stick together!

Look before you cross the street.!Remember the seed in the little paper cup?!

First the roots go down!And then the plant grows up.!
