Children's imitation of each other and those around them (especially parents and peers) is a natural, unconscious and educational process that internalises behaviours, values ​​and social skills through observation and imitation. This behaviour, which results from the activation of mirror neurons, is formed in childhood by imitating the family and in adolescence by being strongly influenced by peers. The first and most important role models are parents. Behaviours such as love, politeness, patience and your daily interactions are directly observed and imitated by the child. As they enter school and older ages, friends become the main role models and their influence for social adaptation increases.
