Kids Copy Parents' Mistakes

Parents, be on guard, because your kids are watching very, very closely. A new Yale University study appearing in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows that kids learn how to perform certain actions or tasks through a very dedicated form of imitation. They tend to copy all the motions or steps an adult uses to perform a given manipulation task, rather than just the important ones. The three-to-five-year-old kids in the study could tell which actions were unnecessary, such as tapping a box with a feather before opening it. Yet they still copied superfluous actions when mimicking adults in other tests.—Gregory Mone

This is Why I have always said That We put the Wrong Meaning Behind What a Parents In Fluance Is & Should be . Like the Artical says Kids Follow thier Parents mistakes , They also follow their Sucsess, So What I say is That Parents Are Not Here To Teach us whats Right ,But rather kids Should Reconize What there Parents do Wrong & then do Show them The Right Way ...
If We as Childern only Learned to Do Good At What are Parents fail at , then we would Stop The Passing Down Of Bad Habit's ...

I am not surprised by this study at all. To be honest, I am more surprised there is a study being conducted about kids mimicking their parents. This is something that has been occurring since the beginning of time. How else do we learn how to do specific tasks than to watch those around us?

It's an interesting situation. The kids are teenagers and the parents are already separated. They split times with the kids, but instead of each of them getting there own place and the kids going back and forth the kids are staying in the family home full time and the parents are going back and forth between separate homes they have acquired.

adidas wings , Originated from a casual shoes brand, the adidas with wings inherited the
traditional advantage of of its parent brand to offer superior high quality to
people. Any long durable leathers such as suede or animal were applied into
its design that one hand offer strong durability to shoes, on the other hand
provides people with remarkable comfort and ease even in long time exercising.
As to the design element of the addidas wings, succent but classic would be
the most perfect words to describe them. Without any gaudy design and
additional decoration, only with pratical design, such as the magic lace or
lock with sole colorway on its appearance and the contradictory colorway that
not only practical but also offer strong visual affection to people. Advanced
shoe technology was also brought in the shoes design, such as the full length
