They both stress the importance of human interaction.
Explanation: Cooley’s "looking-glass self" says the self develops through how we imagine others see us; Mead’s theory says the self arises through social interaction and role-taking (stages like play and game). Neither theory emphasizes genetics, Cooley doesn’t outline four stages, and both actually involve role-playing/role-taking rather than discouraging it.
