According to Jean – Piaget’s theory Objective Permanence is the understanding that objects continue to exist even when they cannot be observed seen, heard, touched, smelled or sensed in anyway. So as I researched the stages of this great researched I found that the baby and the mother need to be together for cognitive development. According to (Dr. Sears.com) with objects such as toys, color balls, or rattlers, a baby at early ages at 0-4 months learn reflexes and at 3-4 month if you show the baby a toy they will not respond but will show delight and will not hide if you take it away, this is because the baby at the stage doesn’t realize that the toy is gone but only that it exist at that time. Here I want to express the dynamics of object

At 4-8 months they will also begin reaching for the object and play with toys (Jean-Piaget, 2009). At 8-12 months co-ordination of the secondary circular reactions, they will retrieve an object completely hidden objects but will only look where they first saw it hidden. I watched a video on object permanence that show an 10 month year boy playing what they called the A not B game where a toy was hidden under a blanket and they moved to another one and the baby responds by looking under the first place it saw the toy placed this is because although the baby see’s that it was moved he/she will first look under where he look saw the book placed. At 8-12 months the Tertiary Circular reactions they can find objects that have been hidden and then retrieve them this is all due to object permanence. Now how does this relate to the attachment and what Jean-Piaget believed was the vital reason this theory applied to mothers and infants. At the early stages of childbirth a mother is bonding with her baby, she notices her crying, smiling and also searching for her nipples, this bond of attachment is important because mothers can bond in ways with baby that fathers
