I understand that DNA carries physiological human traits like skin tone, hair, athleticism, etc. But how is it that children mimic the same mannerism that one of the parents had. For example, a ditto sleeping position, or in the case of a guy I know who used to hold on to his moms/dads ear as a child, and now his son does the exact same thing. How does DNA carry behavioral characteristics/traits?

The answer is no one actually knows yet exactly how much is nature (DNA) vs nurture (how you were raised).
Its the entire reason why its still one of the big scientific questions
