Gracie Herman, only 2 years old, is on the path to being a successful youtuber, thanks to her mother, who occasionally publishes videos of Gracie, with various challenges and games. The YouTube channel is called "Amy and Gracie" and their videos have a few clicks, but recently, Amy-tu's new "experiment" went viral.
She behaves like a daughter for a day and waits for her reactions, which are adorable.

Such calm reactions of the child are also a consequence of the good parenting of the Herman couple. Children as infants have an innate ability to imitate, which is the same in every culture. Copying simple actions, such as sticking out your tongue or other behaviors, comes from the same part of the brain that allows young children to develop empathy. Imitating the people around you is a form of social learning in babies and children. Therefore, while Amy is behaving like her daughter, the little girl is also behaving, without realizing it, like her mother.
For the long version of the "experiment", watch the video on YouTube:
