傑西‧伊爾哈特: 遊戲對孩童大腦發展的益處

遊戲對孩童大腦發展的益處

一點點的遊戲時間就能對孩子的大腦發展帶來很大的好處，但成年人的參與才是獲得最佳效果的關鍵因素。幼教領袖傑西‧伊爾哈特認為，你應該放下手機，拿起一個杯子假裝茶杯（或用一條毛毯假裝的超人的披風），在孩子最具可塑性的學習階段，花時間與他們一起運用想像力。

Children’s brains build vital connections through interactive, imaginative play with adults. Instead of fixating on quick wins like memorizing letters, simple moments—like sharing kitchen sponges in the bath—nourish emotional and cognitive development. Many grown-ups feel awkward or unskilled at play, yet imperfect engagement makes a deep impact. Letting go of perfection and embracing small, playful interactions can shape a child’s lifelong learning foundation.

Brain Growth Happens When Adults Join Kids In Play

Interactive play between adults and children sparks crucial brain development, especially in the prefrontal cortex where problem-solving and emotional skills grow. Despite overwhelming research, many parents and teachers still default to fact-based teaching for quicker, more visible results. Even a simple bath with kitchen sponges and measuring cups can turn routine moments into powerful learning opportunities. Letting go of perfection and embracing imperfect, shared play nurtures lifelong learning and resilience.
