Great little shot of my 2 little beauties copying their dad 😍
They weren’t coaxed into it, I didn’t even ask them to do it.
Are they getting strong and learning valuable skills because they saw me doing something similar to this?
Damn straight they are!!!
Monkey see monkey do! 🐒
Mirror neurons are the beginnings of all skills learnt and by just witnessing me do something they were able to very quickly and without even practicing it, do it themselves.
They also swing on my gymnastic rings and are playing with various types of crawl patterns which I’m super proud about, especially as I didn’t ask them to do any of it!
I’ve met quite a few parents that want their kids to ‘get fit’ but they themselves aren’t showing their kids ‘fit’ 🤷🏻♂️
Kids initially learn best by watching what their parents do.
This itself has many many layers to it and HOPEFULLY, all you parents out there, if you aren’t trying to be a better person (emotionally, spiritually and physically) since having your kid/s, you’re doing a great disservice!!
‘Lead by example’ goes across the whole spectrum of living and can certainly be encouraging and helping ignite a flame within others 🔥 (if leading with a ‘good’ example of course ;)
Keep on keeping on and let’s all inspire the next generation, starting with how we show up each day and try to be our best selves (it’s not easy but we gotta keep working at it 💪🏼😎)
I, like you, are a work in progress, but the only way to progress is to keep trying to do so 🔥
