Why children look at the world between their legs, according to psychology

You may have seen your child bend forward, tuck their head between their legs and look at the room upside down. A familiar face, the living room sofa or a parent standing nearby suddenly becomes something to look at from an entirely different angle. The child may giggle, move around to get another view or repeat the action without any apparent reason.For adults, it can look like an amusing little habit. But this unusual way of looking at familiar surroundings raises an interesting question: what happens when children change their viewpoint and see something they already know in an unfamiliar way?Developmental psychology offers some clues through research on visual perception, object exploration and how children learn to interpret the world around them.
