Why toddlers copy older people
According to an expert at First Cry Parenting, toddlers naturally copy peers and older kids as a normal part of growing up. This copying behaviour helps children learn new skills and develop social connections with others around them.
The expert explains that babies start copying their mothers from birth, and this becomes more obvious when children copy older people who smile or stick their tongues out at them. Copying opens up new ways for children to develop and interact with the world.
Children learn many important skills through copying, including using crayons and stacking blocks. Pretend play is one of the best ways for toddlers to learn new abilities by watching and copying what others do.
The copying process is quite complex - children need to watch adults act, understand what they're seeing, turn it into an action, and then do it themselves using their motor skills. This copying behaviour helps build stronger relationships and social understanding.
