Frontal Lobe.... Activate!

The frontal lobe, yea, in the brain, is involved in planning activities. Its development apparently really "kicks in to high gear"* when a child is between 6 and 8.


Anyway, believe it or not, we saw evidence of N's frontal lobe IN ACTION today. She had an art project that she had made at school. She wanted to take it to art class with her. Her Daddy was picking her up at school today and taking her to art class. Mary Poppins was taking her to school. The problem... How to get the art project to art class....

All on her own, she picked up her art project, took it to MWH and asked if he could put it in his car so she could have it at art class. She thought through all the steps necessary to get the art project to art class all by herself, and then implemented it.

I was most impressed. So was MWH. He didn't know why she wanted him to put the art project in his car, but when he inquired, she explained and then it all made sense to him too. N was miles ahead of everyone on this.

I just love the frontal lobe!




*That's not exactly how the article I read about frontal lobe development said it, but that's what they meant. Heh.

H does lots of problem solving like that. K and I will be at a stalemate and H will say "I have a plan" and then explain how we can do it so we all get what we want. I'm so impressed that I talk about H's plan until K gets jealous and wants to have a plan too. K's plans are simpler and more self interested.
