2.064 LANGUAGE: Understand Words: Find partially covered object

from The Interaction Coach Hosted by Joyce Olson

Object permanence is the understanding that an object exists even when we can't see it. Knowing this helps a child learn that a symbol (word) can represent an object that is not present. At Level Two, your child is starting to understand they can find a partially hidden object is still the object. (If you cover it completely, they will lose interest because it's gone.) Today's activity: When you and your child are interacting with a toy, partially cover it with a blanket or other object. Ask, "Where'd it go?!" then slowly pull it from under the cover. "There it is!" Let your child take a turn.
