Why playing peek-a-boo is so important? π
Playing peek-a-boo strengthens parent-baby bonds.
There's eye contact, fun, and interactive communication. These are key ingredients to a strong and loving connection.
Plus, peek-a-boo is a powerful learning tool. Babies love repeated rounds of playing peek-a-boo especially when they develop object permanence. Object permanence is when a baby understands that something or someone still exists even if they are not visible. This is crucial to forming a secure attachment. β£ππ
There are more benefits to peek-a-boo. A baby will try and mimic you, which means they are using hands and arms in new ways. It will tickle your baby's sense of humor. And it's a great distraction when your little one is cranky.
Go watch an amazing TED talk by a 7-year old, Molly Wright, who starts her talk by saying, "What if I was to tell you that peek-a-boo could change the world?" Send me a DM after you watch it and let me know your thoughts. I was so impressed with the message and the delivery... It's titled: How every child can thrive by five π π
