How to address this skill:
In the video below, this parent plays a peek-a-boo style game! "Where did Noa go?"
The parent asks the first time, "Where did Noa go?" and drops the blanket lightly.
The child does not react (is still learning the game!)
The parent repeats using the same language, "Where did Noa go?" and drops the blanket lightly.
The child smiles in response.
