Baby girl follows her aunt's actions as she mothers her doll
Proof that kids copy what they see...
Children learn from the behaviour they are most exposed to.
Whether they see a fellow peer doing it or an adult, it is well within a child's nature to imitate the behaviour they are exposed to.
Sometimes it can be volatile, for instance when a child imitates violence or anger, but there are also wholesome moments to be experienced when around kids.
We saw a positive (and funny) moment shared on TikTok involving a young toddler who was playing with a doll.
She watched her aunt as she patted her baby's bottom while soothing her to sleep. The little girl imitated her aunt's actions with her baby doll.
It was cute to see the little girl imitating her aunt's motherly action, but it was also hilarious to notice the force with which she patted her baby doll. Thankfully, it was just a doll.
At her age, she is still learning about being gentle, so we completely accepted her mothering choices knowing full well her heart was in the right place.
