Object Permanence

The term object permanence stands for children knowing things are there even after they can no longer see them. Experts say that is one of the benefits of playing Peek-a-boo. If you live in the Mid-south, the game is called Peep-eye. Over the last few months I have become aware of the term in its use for toddlers. We allow the little one to watch an occasional video, but try to limit her daily viewing time. She has been obsessed lately with Cars (the movie). She knows how it is going to end, but she has watched it 39 times to be sure. Object Permanence.
