Another post without any proof. Kid saw you eat broccoli, based on you logic, the kid will also taste and eat it. And become super healthy, as he is eating vegetables of vitamins. But in reality, kid wont eat it, and would rather eat fries or pasta.
All those who say “kid will do everything parents do” either dont have kids, or dont know their kids, or follow some life standarts of elder generetion.
To me that's logical because that's what most kids do right? They imitate the people that's around them and I don't think that it's fair that you're saying that they won't copy you if you're eating vegetables but if the environment introduced to the child is where you're all eating vegetables daily or most of the time, they wouldn't have any problem with that eating part because they're going to be accustomed to it, now if they're the kind of kid that's introduced to fast early on and they see the people around them eat those fast food shit then you'd be right.
The kids imitate only selected things; things that are easy to do. For example one adults regular day: wake up, cook breakfast, work, cook dinner, wash dishes, do some house routine, brush teeth and go to sleep. In between do some mobile talks, check social media. If kids imitate parents and those who surround them - it means they will do all the same. But instead we parents ask and remind kids do this and that. Because they busy with their own things of interest, their own routine.
What I try to tell people, that kids wont do 100% their parents do. They wont even copy 1/4 of what parents do. I find it strange, that from all activities they see us adults or parents do, people say that exactly gambling will become the activity they are obsessed with.
Another notice. If kids see us parents gamble all the time, guess what they do? Most people say that they will also start to gamble. But in reality, the kid will come and say “daddy/mummy, please go and play with me”.
