Why Peekaboo Builds Your Baby’s Brain - Object Permanence Explained

Why do babies love peekaboo so much? Beyond the giggles, this simple game is building your baby’s brain in powerful ways. Peekaboo helps babies develop object permanence—the understanding that people and things still exist even when unseen.
Every time you cover your face and reappear, your child’s brain is strengthening the hippocampus (memory storage) and the prefrontal cortex (problem-solving and prediction). These playful moments lay the foundation for memory, trust, and emotional regulation.
