Instructions in English
Have you noticed that your child doesn't imitate you when you wave or clap?
Many parents think it's due to a lack of understanding, but the truth is that imitation is an independent skill that requires practice.
Imitation is the first step in learning. Through it, children learn:
* Speech
* Play
* Follow instructions
* Interact with others.
Guidelines in English
📌 If your child isn't imitating, start with these steps:
1. Make the activity fun (clapping, funny movements, sounds)
2. Sit in front of your child at eye level
3. Give a simple and clear command: “Imitate me”
4. Help your child physically if they don't respond (gently hold their hand)
5. Reinforce immediately after any attempt (a kind word or applause)
⚠️ Remember: Not imitating doesn't mean your child doesn't understand; it means they need gradual and structured training.
✨ Start with simple steps… and you'll notice the difference with practice.
