Short Description
When infants are playing with objects, their early attempts to pay attention to things are accompanied by bursts of high-frequency activity in their brain. But what happens when parents play together with them? Research summarized in this column from the National Institutes for Health shows that when adults are engaged in joint play together with their infant, their own brains show similar bursts of high-frequency activity. Learn more about this research and about ways to playfully support both children and adults.
