Children who copy parents may be learning more, psychology suggests
Original: Psychology says children who copy a parent's words, expressions and gestures may be learning more than la
Psychology commentary reported by The Times of India suggests that children who mimic a parent's words, facial expressions and gestures may be absorbing and learning far more than previously assumed. Imitation is presented as an important part of early childhood development, with mirrored behaviour helping young children build language, social understanding and emotional skills by observing the adults closest to them.
Why now: Parenting content about child development and the role of imitation is drawing widespread interest from parents and educators.
