Observational learning is an important contributor to cognitive development, even in parents. Â We observe parenting skills, styles, and attitudes from our own parents first, from our friends’ parents, and then from friends who are parents. Â In addition to learning from live examples, we can observe the parenting, good and bad, of literary characters in thousands of years’ worth of classics, letting their examples teach, change, and shape us into better parents and teachers.
