one will begin to use objects to learn about the
world. This process generally begins by accident,
but as your baby starts to enjoy their ability to
make things happen, they’ll continue these
activities again and again.
# Children use their personal experience to develop
their own knowledge about the world.
# Children can learn on their own, even when they
aren’t taught or influenced by other children or
adults.
# Children have an internal motivation to learn, so
rewards for learning generally aren’t necessary.

# May listen to or show a preference for certain short stories
and songs.

object permanence, they may not mind when you leave the room, since
they understand you’ll return eventually.
