Just a little more proof that children definitely learn what they see, not what they are told....
Jane and her son, Nate (5) doing plank with a twist (perfectly).
When I go to Jane's house to train, her kids often enjoy coming in to do a workout, too. While Nate's older brother, Sam, was busy doing exercises with elastic tubing, Nate was working with mom doing sets of these, mixed up with jumping jacks.
If for one minute you don't think your kids are watching you...and wanting to be like you, think again! This picture says it all.
Bonni, I love that picture. You are so right when you stated that children want to be like their parents. If only parents knew how much they truly influence their children, it would be wonderful. The same scenario happens with reading books. Children who see their parents reading......eating healthy.... and appreciating the arts.........will also do the same. As an educator for over 40 years, I have to say that this is true based on experience with my students and their family backgrounds.
