Your Brilliant Baby in Week 37: Understanding Disappearance

by Jan Faull, MEd

Week 37 Brain Booster

To support your child's interest in disappearance, keep those hiding games coming. Buy a jack-in-the-box (or any pop-up toy for that matter) and play with it together over and over again. Any fun that relates to disappearance meshes well with your child's intellectual agenda right now; these activities not only solidify your child's interest in the permanence of objects, but your relationship with him as well.
