Mirroring Body Language
Body language is like a subtle dance. You need to both mirror the child's position and model how you want them to behave.

Mirroring and Modelling Speech
Mirroring is not just about body language it also includes how we speak and respond to learners. It means using a combination of modelling to introduce new words and repeating the child's own words to check full understanding.
