Children usually don’t become like their parents.

This means that the talents of parents are not inhe­ri­ted 1:1, but what is trans­mit­ted is what parents exem­plify. Child­ren are very good obser­vers. And copy­cats. Quickly they find out for what you get praise, reco­gni­tion and admi­ra­tion. The reac­tion is just as violent if these forms of appre­cia­tion are absent. This is why it is so important not to assume that child­ren have exactly the same talents, abili­ties and strengths as you do. Rather, it is important to offer child­ren many opti­ons to increase their chan­ces of disco­ve­ring their own passi­ons early on.
If child­ren do exactly what their parents do, it does not neces­s­a­rily mean that it is an expres­sion of a talent, but it can also mean that it is an expres­sion of “belon­ging”. Child­ren, as long as they are small, are always where the energy of the parents is. That is why parents should also be open to many things and diffe­rent things. And if you can’t do that in the desi­red spec­trum of art, nutri­tion, science, culture, sports, envi­ron­ment, music, travel and social acti­vi­ties, the nanny can be helpful.
