We all know the game "Peek-a-Boo". Every adult who comes in contact with a baby automatically assumes the high-pitched voice, covers her eyes, and then squeals, "peek-a-boo!" while uncovering her eyes.

What most people don´t know, however, is the significance of a game of peek-a-boo. It is not only fun and elicits smiles and giggles, but it is teaching object permanance (even though I can´t see you, I know you´re still there). This is a very important concept for young children to learn, especially as they are left in daycare or when they begin school.

There is a sense of security built in knowing that mommy and daddy will come back. Even though I can´t see them right now, they still exist and I will see them again.
