# Have your child watch the "closer" and "farther away" clues carefully.
# Before your child makes a selection, have him or her wait until he or she hears prompts.
===Discovery Guide===
I'm Hiding presents your child with a new version of the classic game of Hide 'N Seek, developing his or her ability to describe an object by a variety of characteristics. In addition, your child develops and refines game strategies by using clues to find the hidden bug.
-----
If your child is very young, he or she may find it challenging to name the object, its color, and its size, one by one. Your child discovers that naming all three of these qualities causes a bug to appear, and gives him or her a great sense of control and mastery over the game environment.
Your child may discover a favorite bug, and anticipate its emergence. Initially, in playing the game, your child may be more interested in seeing a favorite bug, than in looking for the hidden bug. Also, your child may choose a place he or she thinks the Dumbug likes to hide, or select the same hiding place repeatedly.
In contrast to younger children, the older child may become very involved in using clues to help search for the hidden bug. Your child may use "closer" and "farther away" clues to narrow the area where the bug can hide, and develop a real game strategy. By learning to use the clues more effectively, your child is rewarded by finding the hidden bug more quickly.
Now that you've begun to explore the appeal and challenge that I'm Hiding has for your child, why not go one step further . . .
