What makes children imitate the salaat? Is it having to observe a person being completely involved in an action and not being responsive to the external environment? I doubt they think as much. Alhamdo lillah it's such a pleasure to watch them kneel when I do, prostrate as I do and raise their hands to prayer as I would. Although Meher bows in my direction instead facing the other way, it's remarkable how every child I've prayed in front of resorts to imiatation. I don't take it personally, which is why I love their actions so much. I am imitating the Rasool Allah SAWS' sunnah in my way of salaat, and children imitating me, are in turn doing the same. Alhamdo lillah, it feels like the same new kind of magic each time.
