With the view that imitation among young children is a form of physical interaction, this paper focuses on "children who are imitated" and closely studies the cases based on anecdotes collected. As a result, it was found that the followings were true among children who being were imitated by others. i) They started to interact with others. ii) They became aware of the presence and ideas of others. iii) They became aware of the intentions behind their actions. iv) They became aware of their action and interacted more with others. v) Being acknowledged of one's self, they started to take positive actions toward others. In all cases, it was observed that being imitated lead to various interctions and helped children deepen one's self-understanding through the understanding of others.
