Why do children hide by covering their eyes?

Because they believe that to be “seen” they have to see the other person.

… it would seem that children apply the principle of joint attention to the self and assume that for somebody to be perceived, experience must be shared and mutually known to be shared, as it is when two pairs of eyes meet

Fascinating.

Why do children hide by covering their eyes? from the British Psychological Society.
