Children Learn Through Imitation

Roll a ball in imitation of an adult?
Precious tried to roll the ball back to me every time I rolled it to her. She may have pushed or kicked the ball towards my directions more than twice. She also motioned for me to get the ball if it passed by me when she rolled it. Precious was very at tentative to the ball as I rolled it to her each time. She made sure the ball did not pass her.
