Cognitive

Object permanence, cause & effect, imagination

Cognitive milestones reflect how your child learns to think, understand, and solve problems.

6–9 months

Object Permanence

Your baby understands that objects still exist even when hidden. Peekaboo becomes especially fun.

6–12 months

Cause and Effect

Your baby learns 'if I do this, something happens' — dropping toys, pressing buttons, shaking rattles.

1–3 years

Problem Solving

Your child begins figuring out how to open containers, reach desired objects, and solve simple challenges.

2–4 years

Imaginative Thinking

Pretend play becomes increasingly complex and creative.
