Quote

Even abstract concepts like cause and effect are learned by babies through play and close relationships. There’s a game in which the baby gurgles, the parent repeats the noise, and the baby smiles. In the “advanced gurgle” stage, the baby gurgles, the parent gurgles, the baby gurgles, everybody smiles. Before a baby can pull the string on a toy in his crib, he pulls at his mother’s and father’s heartstrings— the first building block of play.
