If you're an empathic person, you don't have to think really hard, or it's not a conscious process to switch on those mirror neurons.
Those are the neurons in the brain that really light up when we're relating to someone else.
Like, oh, I know what that feels like.
Right.
And so a lot of neuroscience.
Scientists feel that these mirror neurons could be the key to the development of empathy.
Now, I'm not here to tell you that empathy is just one thing or another.
Like my kid would express empathy by crying when he saw somebody else get hurt, but he couldn't articulate with his thinking mind exactly why that it bothered him.
But he was still able to relate to another person's.
emotions.
And I think that's what we're doing when we mirror, but we don't realize that that's such a big ingredient to being more successful when we play with our kids.
But also it's a big ingredient to being successful as a parent, I think.
And so the make yourself a mirror strategy is just if you see your kid doing something that has a quality that's nonverbal, like there's something that you could do back with them with your body, face, or voice.
That could be that my kid's jumping on a trampoline and I'm just smiling and bobbing my head up and down with them or something like that.
Or it could be a facial expression that you're sharing over Zoom with your kid.
They have a big bright smile on their face, and you also, or they look concerned about something, and you also look similarly concerned without overwhelming them too much with too much of that emotion, kind of thing.
Or it could be a vocal tone.
If you have a young child and they come home and they're telling you, you know, my teacher told me that I have to work on this.
That or the other thing at school.
And so you could say, oh, I didn't realize that, you know, that's something we could do at home too, kind of thing.
