All these idioms mean that a children behave like their parents.
“A chip off the old block”,
The term dates back to ancient times and compares a chip of stone or wood to the larger block it was cut from.
By the 17th century, it was already a proverb in English.
Similar idioms in English are:
“Like father like son”
The female equivalent of the idiom is “like mother, like daughter”, appears in the Bible in Ezekiel 16:44.
And “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”
In 1839, Ralph Waldo Emerson was credited with making the first known usage of the phrase in the United States. However, an old German proverb “Der Apfel fällt nicht weit vom Stamm” is similar but uses the word “trunk” instead of “tree”.
The Portuguese Equivalent is “Filho de peixe, peixinho é”
Literal Translation: “The son of a fish is a little fish.”
