When my son picks a new shape and challenges the tower, I find myself mapping that risk‑taking to the classic Piagetian stages of sensorimotor exploration, noting a spike in his engagement that feels almost like a micro‑epidemic of curiosity. I jot the observation in a tiny chart on the fridge, because nothing says nurturing like data that proves a child can feel excitement from a simple block placement. At the same time, I’m reminded of the glitter glue study that shows how messiness can derail attention, so I gently guide him to a cleaner, more intentional construction before bedtime. I even tweak our nightly story, adding a predictable but surprising twist so that his imagination follows a clear narrative arc, just as my research suggests improves memory consolidation. The result? A little boy who is both daring and methodical, and a parent who keeps a close eye on the science while still cheering his spontaneous triumphs. #ParentingWithData #EarlyLearning 😊
