In child growth and development If an infant reaches for a toy hidden under a cloth what does this suggest?

If an infant reaches for a toy hidden under a cloth, it suggests that the child has developed some level of object permanence. This cognitive milestone indicates that the infant understands that objects continue to exist even when they are not visible. Typically, this awareness begins to emerge around 8 to 12 months of age, reflecting the infant's growing cognitive abilities and understanding of their environment.
