Imitation is the simplest way of learning, that is why educationists proposed “learning by doing” as a means of teaching pupils. To a child, just do and let me reproduce it, take the lead and let me follow.
Have you wondered why your children hardly learn from all the theories and things you’re teaching them? Don’t wonder far… Your lifestyle is the best teacher for your children. Children rarely learn from their parents, they imitate and copy their lifestyles.
Be your child’s model and mentor, do what you want them to do, lead by example, walk your talk, practice what you preach. By so doing, you’re making the work of transforming your children to be who you want much easier.
If you want your children to be good readers, pick a book and start reading, he/she will copy you.
If you want your children to give themselves to prayer, you start praying.
If you want your children to be good leaders, lead by example.
In modelling a child, good imitation doesn’t translate into limitations, it rather transcend into a limitless realm.
