Hide-and-seek is a universal game that children play. When I was young, the ultimate goal was to hide in a place so that no one would find me. Now I play hide-and-seek with my own children, and my goal is different. Yes, I could hide in a place where they would never find me, but that would only frustrate and discourage them. Now I hide in places that are out-of-sight, but apparent when they search for me. For instance, I will hide behind a curtain with my feet still visible, or behind a piece of furniture that they just have to look behind. This way, it is much more fun for all of us.
