Children have a strong desire to imitate, and when they see adults around them doing and saying something, they feel curious and will follow the example.
Recently, the video of a grandmother sitting on the subway with her baby has gone viral on the Internet, only to see that the grandmother, like an old cadre, sits upright and crosses her legs, which is quite imposing.

We usually online can often see some children imitating adult video, mostly parents sent to the Internet, such as children imitating the teacher to speak, learn to dance and so on.
Look at the little man child fussed to do adults can do things, serious little look particularly cute, the reason is that the child is in the love of imitation age.
When the parents found that the child is more and more like to imitate what the adults say, what to do, it represents the child into the imitation of the sensitive period, usually in the child about three years old.
This period of time, the child's central nervous system is very strong, the brain structure is also in the rapid development and maturity, so the child receives new knowledge or unfamiliar behavior, will be very active and sensitive, which is what we call imitation sensitivity period.
Imitation sensitivity is a physiological behavior that every child goes through, and it is precisely because of this that parents cannot afford to ignore this particular period.
Educator Montessori once pointed out that children's behavior is often very creative, and once they start imitating, they often go beyond what they imitate.
This means that if parents observe their children carefully during this period of imitation, they will discover their children's talents or areas of genuine interest, which can be further nurtured and educated in favor of their children's growth.
The child's imagination, creativity, and ability to think are all stimulated by the child's imitation process, and the child's brain is stimulated to develop.
We can't deny that children who love to imitate are usually very smart, because only a child who is good at observing can imitate more like, whether it is hands-on ability, or language ability, because of the imitation, the child will be improved.
1. Helps children learn better
If a child wants to imitate someone else's behavior, it actually needs a preparation stage, and only when the child is ready will he or she make the imitation.
And this preparation stage is actually a learning process, where the child has to understand the behavior of the person they are imitating, and observe it carefully, before they can imitate it in a way that they feel comfortable with.
In the process of imitation, the child recognizes the external world, and gradually understands all the aspects of the external world. Over time, the child will become more familiar with the world because of imitation, which will improve his or her ability to learn in the future.
2. The child's language ability is perfected
Many parents have the feeling that their child is mimicking a character from a cartoon, and they are not sure when the child is coming up with words or syllables that they have never said before.
This explains why parents don't try to teach their children to speak, but they suddenly come up with new words after watching TV or listening to their parents talking to them, because they are imitating other people's language.
The importance of language ability is well known to parents, so if your child likes to mimic, it can be very helpful to improve your child's language ability.
3. It helps the child to form a correct outlook on the world
A person's knowledge of the world needs to be cultivated from an early age, and the imitation period is the best time for a child to know the world.
When the child is imitating, parents should correctly guide the child, which behaviors can be imitated, and which wrong behaviors can not be imitated.
Through this process, the child will understand right and wrong, which will help him or her to build healthy social relationships in the future.
When parents find that their children like to learn from others, they should not rush to stop them, nor should they indulge them, but they should guide them correctly, so that they can get pleasure from imitation and learn at the same time, so that they can get two birds with one stone.
