Initially the child is asked to copy the doll's position on life-size furniture, then using dolls' house furniture. The child may also use the doll to imitate the adult's movements or position. Drawings of body positions are introduced next. The position is done first, then drawn on a card. At the later stage the child is presented with the card and asked to imitate the position.
Drawings are a great reinforcer of sequence.
The positions are drawn beforehand on cards, the adult goes through the sequence, the child puts the cards together in the correct sequence and then imitates them. Imitating body movements is now introduced to the child. Objects are used to reinforce the movements. In this way the child will understand that the imitation of position is not a mirror image. Using different coloured sleeves, gloves, or socks to make your limbs more obvious will help the child to imitate your movements more easily.
