Young infants do not understand that when an object is removed from site it is still the same object when you return it. Constant contact with a caregivers face and familiar objects give the infant the opportunity to learn that , it is called object permanence. To understand that objects still exist when they are out of the child's site begins to give the child a sense of permanence in the world, and it deepens the relationships with the child's caregiver.
Good example is - when you drop your infant/toddler off at her caregiver and she is screaming . You keep saying honey I will be back to get you . She does not understand that you will be back she feels that once you are out of her site that's it. Ay your baby gets a little older and begin to understand that you pick her up each day then she will get it. It is a stage of development.
