Mirroring in child development refers to imitating the actions, expressions, and behaviors of those around them, particularly their caregivers and peers. It is a crucial aspect of early development, as it helps the child to develop their social and emotional skills, language abilities, and sense of self. A child learns to understand and express emotions, develop empathy, and interact with others through mirroring. It also helps them build their self-image and reinforces their self-identity (7).
