For preschoolers under the age of 3, their favorite thing to do is to play with their parents, and in many games, "peek-a-boo" is the only "preference" of children.
In this process, not only can children find the fun of hiding and hiding, but also parents can effectively interact with children in this way.
But careful parents will find that their own "little clever ghosts" will mostly appear very simple when playing peekaboo, and many times they will simply cover their small heads as if they are hiding, and they have to accompany them to stage a "visible, can't find" drama.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > play "peekaboo" only cover the head and not the feet? </h1>
Meng Lu's daughter Meng Meng is 3 years old, because Meng Lu is busy at work on weekdays, and can only play with her children when she is resting, so she cherishes the time she spends with Meng Meng.
However, whenever Meng Lu proposed to play games with children, the little one would most likely be excited to play "peek-a-boo", as if there was only one kind of game in her daughter's game dictionary.
And what makes Meng Lu feel even more funny is that her daughter seems to be just "covering her ears and stealing bells" when playing games, because every time Meng Meng plays peek-a-boo, she will only cover her small head and not cover her feet, as if as long as she covers her eyes, others can't see it.
So when Meng Lu opened her eyes, she could always see the shape of the baby burying his head in the sofa or curtain like an ostrich. But even so, in order not to discourage the enthusiasm of the child, she still held back a smile every time, and then pretended to find a way to admit defeat.
But Meng Lu's heart still couldn't help but mutter: When the baby is playing "peek-a-boo", why does it only cover the small head?

In the eyes of adults, the game of peek-a-boo is just a simple "you hide me to find", it seems a little boring to think about, but in fact, this seemingly simple game is not simple for children, it actually contains the little secret of children's growth.
▲This is an external manifestation of the improvement of the cognitive ability of "subject and guest me"
Generally speaking, when the baby is about 1 year old, it has begun to have a simple concept of "master me" and "guest me", they know that the feet and arms they can touch belong to themselves, and the "me" in the mirror is just an image, but this understanding belongs to the most basic cognition.
When the child is 2 or 3 years old, the cognitive ability of the "subject and object me" will be improved, but it is not perfect, and they cannot understand what is "object permanent" at this time. Therefore, in the child's mind, what they can't see represents the disappearance, and the same is true for playing games to cover their eyes.
However, as children grow older and their cognitive abilities continue to improve, they will also understand that their mothers will come back after they leave, and they need to hide themselves when they hide from cats and cats.

★ Helps to enhance parent-child relationships
Compared with the "ineffective accompaniment" of parents playing mobile phones around their babies, hiding from cats can be described as a good assistant to enhance parent-child relationships. In this process, the baby and the parent can communicate and communicate happily, and improve the understanding between each other.
★ It is a channel for relieving separation anxiety
When children reach the age when they should go to kindergarten, many children are "retreating" because they cannot adapt to separation anxiety.
The game of peek-a-boo will make children understand that even if they can't see their parents for a while, they will still appear in front of them.
If parents use it properly, the child will adapt to separation anxiety in advance through this edutainment method.

Young children lack awareness of danger, so parents should not ignore the safety of the little one.
If you want to play with your child, try to choose a fixed range of indoors, such as a living room or bedroom, and try not to let your child enter the kitchen, balcony and other relatively dangerous locations for them.
In addition, parents should not be too "solid eyes" during play, and when appropriate, they can slightly "cheat" to observe the baby's movement line to avoid their injuries in the process of playing.
