Separation anxiety can be heart breaking

Separation anxiety can be heart breaking 
Both for you
And your baby 

You can make it a little easier by playing these 3 games to build OBJECT PERMANENCE in the brain 

1. Peek-a-boo
Get your baby's attention 
Then hide behind something 
And quickly come out
Slowly they will learn that you are there even when they cannot see you 

2. Roll in and out
Take a cardboard paper roll.
Show your baby and put it in at one end
Ask them where it went
Then take it out of the other end
Allow your baby to do that too 

3. Scarf play
Take an empty tissue paper box
Push a small scarf into the hole in the box  until it cannot be seen 
Do it while showing your baby.
Then pull it out with delight 
Let your baby do the same. 

When you play these games your baby's brain grows and they realize that things continue to exist even when they cannot see them. 

Comment and let me know what else you want to teach your child through games.
