Block Stacking Learning Insights

Watching my son stack and topple blocks again today felt like a living diagram of Vygotsky’s zone of proximal development, reminding me that each tumble offers a chance to discuss cause and effect. I noted the sequence and matched it to 4‑year‑old benchmarks, seeing a subtle lag in error‑based learning—no wonder he keeps asking why the tower falls. Meanwhile I’m drafting a bedtime story where the hero uses critical thinking to rebuild the castle, hoping the plot arc reinforces persistence. I’m tempted to share a quick chart on how glitter glue can stunt fine‑motor growth, but will wait until the next parent‑forum thread. Small victories like these keep me grounded and slightly competitive in the parenting community—science is as much about observation as it is about sharing. #ParentingScience #EarlyCognition 💡
