Yesterday, I brought DD to the office. Hey, this little guy is crazy, he is here to run this hide and seek.

The key is that no one wants to play with him, he takes the initiative to "provoke trouble".

I was talking to my colleague about work, and he hid behind the chair and muttered: Come find me.

Little did I know... I had been exposed long ago and was caught by a friend behind the office glass. Have you noticed that children like hide and seek?

A person with action ability like DD is to use the environment to hide in various ways. There was a baby in the wardrobe, under the table, behind the door, behind the curtains at home....

For that little baby, you just block your face and appear again. Believe it or not, you can play for half a day, and it can also make them laugh.

I have to say that this is the lowest-cost parent-child interaction method.

Sometimes I don’t understand it.

Why is the charm of hide and seek so much? Why do children like to play?

Today, let’s talk about the secrets behind hide and seek!

Part.1

Why do children like hide and seek?

In fact, this is related to the awakening of the child's "constant consciousness of objects" .

objects persist (object permanent), as the name suggests, means: objects exist forever, either invisible or disappear.

However, babies of young months do not understand such profound truths.

In their opinion, what I can't see does not exist.

psychologist Piaget came to this conclusion through a "curtain experiment".

When the researcher gives the baby a toy, the baby will reach out to get it;

But when the toy is blocked with a "curtain", the baby no longer looks for it, as if the toy does not exist.

This is why, the baby will cry when he can’t see his mother at first.

This is because he thought you disappeared. What is the process of hiding and seeking? In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a process of "invisible-thinking it disappeared-that appears again" in .

This slowly refreshes the baby's cognition. He will find that the object of playing is not visible just now, but it actually exists and will not really disappear, nor will it undergo essential changes.

This is a very novel experience for babies.

, so they keep wanting to practice this experience, gains cognitive improvement and fun from .

As the baby grows up, they will still show a strong interest in hide-and-seek, because they gradually understand that things they cannot see do not exist.

Every time I play, the child is deepening his awareness of "you are still here". Even if no one can see anyone for the time being, but when I find you, or when you find me, he will understand "you are still there."

, a sense of control that can predict the results and the sense of accomplishment after finding them, will make the child feel very happy.

From this point of view, of course children like to hide and seek, which is not very strange.

Part.2

Why do children always hide tightly?

Why do I ask this question?

I believe everyone has this experience:

head is hidden under the desk, but most of the body is still outside;

sometimes even comes with a small breast sound, just like yesterday's DD: "I've hidden it, come and find me."

can't smile anymore, I found it at the beginning. Doesn't it seem a bit rude?

Fortunately, I have some (acting) (skills) should (on) hand (line) , and I can still find my baby for a long time. After all, DD even occasionally says directly: "I'm here, look for it."

Thinking about the beginning, I felt very confused at first, why is this the baby playing hide-and-seek?

uh~ Yazi who doesn't look very smart~

is more than that. When I looked online, I saw that there were those who were hiding the corners of the wall, and those who were hiding their heads under the bed...

is strange and diverse, and the only thing in common is that it is very! bright! Shown! What's going on with

?

This is because children under html under 66 years old have the characteristics of "self-centeredness".

A brief explanation is that in the eyes of children, if I can’t see you, then you can’t see me.

Because children's cognitive development is not perfect, they always look at things from their own perspective at the beginning, which is actually very subjective.

When he covers his eyes and hides his head, he can't see anything, and naturally he subjectively thinks that others can't see anything like him, including not seeing him.

So when playing hide-and-seek with your child, we often see him "hiding lonely".

Part.3

What are the benefits of hiding and seeking with your children?

In the eyes of many people, hide and seek may be a very small and simple game.

But in fact, its impact on children is still very far-reaching.

We also mentioned earlier that for kids, the process of hide-and-seek is the process of the development of objects' constant consciousness.

This means that this game can help babies develop cognition and understand objects that persist in .

and objects persist, which plays an important role in the development of baby 's concept of space, causal relationships, logical thinking, etc.

In addition, you will also have some unexpected gains when playing hide-and-seek with your baby.

deepens emotional connection

If you avoid the cat with your child, you will definitely know:

When playing this game, both adults and children are devoted to it.

Take me as an example. Every time I play with DD, no matter whether he hides it strictly or not, I will transform into a drama essence, searching around and saying, "Where are you? I can't find you, I'm so anxious~"

DD feels that I'm anxious about finding him, and I'll be happy and satisfied.

Sometimes I can’t help myself, respond to me, point a direction, or simply tell me where I am.

In the process of finding him, he may be nervous and expect to be found.

Wait until you finally find him, all the emotions burst out together, and the child will be eager to be seen and cared for by you.

This urgent desire is perceived by children when they hide and seek will create a strong emotional connection with you.

deal with separation anxiety

We mentioned before that children with separation anxiety actually do not understand and adapt to "objects persist".

When the child cannot see his mother, he will naturally look for and cry, trying to make the mother appear.

When hiding and seeking with children, repeatedly hiding and searching can help children strengthen their "permanent consciousness of objects".

often play hide-and-seek with your children, and they will understand that things will not disappear because they are invisible, so will mothers.

I'm hiding it now and will be found in a while.

Mom did not disappear either, but I just can't see it now.

I am waiting to be looked for, and I will see my mother again in a while.

And when you see it again, you may be hugged by your mother in surprise, which will undoubtedly make him feel happy.

After a while, the hide-and-seek game keeps the child used to the brief separation from his mother over and over again until he can correctly recognize and accept this separation.

is obvious, which will greatly reduce the child's separation anxiety.

C Mom said

wanted to talk about hide and seek, it is definitely a classic game with zero cost.

I have always recommended kids after 6 months, and play more hide and seek.

At the beginning, it can be simpler, such as covering your face with a cloth, allowing children to feel this kind of hiding change.

is a little bigger, and you can hide people after you can crawl and walk.

It is necessary to remind everyone that you should devote yourself to hiding and seeking with your children.

Don’t be impatient and say something like “If you don’t come out again, I’ll leave” makes the child uneasy.

and others are free, so why not play hide-and-seek with your children more.
