Brain Development
Brain-based education suggests that physical exercise is
important for brain development. Research has shown that in
addition to physical exercise, other activities focus on
stimulating the social development and intellectual development
of young children.
Gerry, who is still incapable of jumping with both feet, may not
be invited to join in a game of jump rope. This is an example of
how a child’s individual characteristics (motor skills in this
case) can affect context (social environment) and influence
development (LeFrancois, 2012).
Reflect back on your own development as a child, or on the
development of a child you know, and provide an example of
how individual characteristics affected development. Using the
text and other scholarly resources, provide some suggested
activities or strategies that would provide the necessary support
to enhance the affected development. For example, Gerry’s
teacher notices she is being excluded from the game of jump
rope and intervenes by showing Gerry how to twirl the rope.
Gerry is now included socially, despite her delayed motor
development.
