When you feed a baby eating, the spoon handed it to him, the baby naturally, opened her mouth, waiting to taste delicious. What about you, your mouth whether Zhang was? The two of you who should open his mouth? In the end who is imitating whom? University of Amsterdam professor of social psychology leaves sturgeon Hui Yi Pudi explained: 4 / 5 cases, children see extended over the spoon after the first mouth, and then imitate their parents before the child’s action; the remaining 1 / 5 situation is that the parents first presentation, the children then imitate.

Imitation – I love to say to you … … novice parents to learn and share new baby

Aipu professor told us: “Like fish in water play the same social group, people often refer to the surrounding people: mutual observation, imitating each other. We need a sense of belonging and to be recognized, accepted the wishes of the imitation meet our this desire. ”

Many parents are aware of a study is done in a very small baby in front of tongue movements, your baby will imitate. You also can do their own baby born just a special game: father or mother before the baby’s lips made to kiss, to see whether your baby will imitate the same gesture. Some researchers at the just-born babies, but 42 minutes of this behavior were observed.

Parents and children can start to exchange through imitation. You may feel that when children imitate you, you seem to have in front of a mirror, you do, kids to do. Of course, imitation will play a bad effect: If children see adults smoking, hand observation of how the mouth to the complex, he may replace the cigarette with a piece of building blocks to mimic you.

Imitation – life is like the original

If a 6-month-old baby by shaking a hand drum, he immediately realized that he not only will he clenched tight, you can let go throw away. Because so much of the children began to consciously grasp things, like how to play on how to play. So the baby suddenly realized that he could make a difference what effect. He began to practice very warm, with the aim to combine things. At this point, imitation can be very effective. For example, when you gift paper crumpled voice, the child will be curious to learn to try, if he could by hand and paper Zaochu the same sound.

Munich Max Planck Institute for Research on Cognitive and behavioral development of team members, Dr. Ai children Sina said: babies 9 months to 12 months and reached the climax stage of imitation, this time their ability to understand the behavior of others have been developed . We adults know that other people’s behavior is meaningful, such as we see a man into the kitchen, they speculated that he went there on purpose. Then the child? She and colleagues from two-year-olds are thinking the same as adults. The initial results show that children will imitate the meaning of things have their own understanding of: adult like a child if the toy his mouth, then the child was surprised at first, but they are not to imitate. Knowing this, the next time you play with the baby Do not be that clever little tease Oh melon head.

Imitate – so I’m happy you happy

If the child all night because of stomach pain while sleeping and the next morning, the parents usually some depressed mood, it is human nature. However, this time directed at you if baby laugh, all the parents will not help smile, smile, fatigue was driving without a trace. This is because children imitate parents laugh, the brain, facial muscle movements through the pleasant information transmitted immediately to create a pleasure hormone secreted.

When people imitate the facial expressions of others, while understanding the feelings of others has become even more easier. Neurophysiology have found that the brain has the ability to mimic people have the nerve cells – mirror neurons. It is not just doing movements such as grasping toy with a rattle, when active, but also observe how others took to become active when the drums. Brain mimic the actions of others and we would envisage the intention of the brain: He wants to pick up the shaking rattle noises. Mirror neurons to people through imitation, appreciate others to be more considerate of others. Then put it simply, through the imitation of facial expressions of people around, baby learned considerate. Read: “I” have all kinds of emotions

Imitation – you said I said

Parents and the baby does not consciously speak of “child language”, they changed the usual rhythm of speech is almost the same as the singing and the children speak. And speak relatively slowly, rest longer between sentences, often repeated said and done. When parents imitate the ways to communicate with their children, carefully observe the baby’s reaction, you will find the baby in the “close attention” and “answer” you, even though he may not speak. After the baby bigger more capable of imitation: the example he can not speak, you may have to learn to pick up the phone handset trouble of making a call. Each time a child attempts to imitate the promotion of the language development, while strengthening the link between parents and children.

Imitation – the time to stop, life continues

For newborn babies, there is no yesterday or tomorrow, only now count. When you give a child dressing, bathing, feeding him when only you are doing important things. You can watch your baby when looked at him, with 23 minutes to create a small eternity, a wonderful time. And you want to adjust to the rhythm of movement frequency of the baby up, “slow motion” sometimes is exactly the right speed. These all help your baby’s sense of time and memory formation.

Of course, we learn from the children’s perception of time is also crucial: some parents 24 hours a day for the little great service tonight, worried that their support will not last long. Baby is able to let you carry on, as he himself maintained the same strong energy: constantly waving arm, lies prone continue to creep forward enough to be only a red ball or no purpose. This children’s endurance, patience and focus happens to be the parents should emulate. Children can guide you, make every effort to live, day after day.
