At what age do children begin to copy their parents' character: scientific fact
They say that only other people's children grow up quickly. For loving parents, their daughters and sons always remain children, even in adulthood.
American scientists have shared their findings that will help adults share all their best qualities with their children. It is only important not to miss the right moment.
Researchers at the University of Massachusetts have found that children first begin to imitate their parents in infancy, Science reports.
Moreover, children begin to adopt the habits of their fathers and mothers from the first days of their lives.
And it's not just about heredity or genetics.
A child adopts manners through interactions with parents or by observing them.
But there is even more interesting information.
Children often tell their parents that they will never be like them. The reasons may vary.
Ambitious statements are made by both teenagers and young people in their 20s and 30s.
But during the survey, British scientists managed to find out that all this is just words.
As children grow up, without even noticing it, they become copies of their fathers and mothers.
On average, this feature appears at 43 years of age.
Moreover, women become copies of their parents at 42 years old, and men begin to copy the behavior and character of their parents only at 45 years old.
