Children’s games: playing with the mirror

The mirror is an element that captivates children as infants. Suddenly they discover that there is another baby in mother’s neck, laughing to see him laugh and feel in the company of a boyfriend. Until you discover that the reflected image is theirs. But how to realize the completion of this important step in the recognition of self-perception?

Easy, try him, without realizing it, a sign (with a little ‘tomato, for example) on the face and see how he reacts when he sees in the mirror. If you try to remove it from the mirror has not yet internalized the image is yours. A power play, one day surprised them as your own, you will touch his face, confirming that it is his to be stained.

Over time, the mirror does not lose its charm, you can play hide and seek, you can leave it to comb, you can fake it with a mustache as Zorro or a clown’s red nose and run to the mirror to see how he is. To encourage him to get make-up (strictly with non-toxic markers), you can do on you first, I worked like a charm!
