Repetition is the mother of all skills
Luckily repetition is the mother of all skills so if you can steer children to do something that that they like doing, and that is at the same time good for them, such as learning, then they will repeat it and repeat it and increase their skill at doing it.
Kids have a natural tendency to repeat the things they like, for example my kids will watch the same film a hundred times and they just love it whereas me, if I watch a film once it would have to be three years before I could watch it again.
So, when kids like something, they want to do it over and over and over again. So how can you encourage your children to repeat things that help them improve their learning and abilities at school.
As Children are wired to repeat what they like, this fact can be used to increase their knowledge. Here is how!
Using fun techniques such as The Learning Well Memory Map is an easy learning method that can be used to increase children’s skills in writing, speaking and almost all areas of literacy learning and children will therefore want to use them time and time again.
Repeated use of mapping massively increases their abilities in all areas including schoolwork.
These Memory Mapping skills are explained in more detail elsewhere on this Blog.
What is Memory Mapping?
Well it’s a bit like Tony Buzan’s Mind Mapping highly focused on the skills of learning and remembering in a very easy and structured fun way.
Here is an example of a Memory Map to help someone speak about Memory Mapping.
Both kids and adults love the technique and the point is that your children will want to use it time and again.
