Listen "51. Why Do Kids Love Repetition?"
Episode Synopsis
Do the "Little Brains" in your life love watching, listening to, and/or doing the same thing over and over...and over...and over again?What's up with that?I decided to ask an expert, 6-year-old, Zoey Nykoruk why she loves hearing the same book, same podcast, and watching the same movie over and over... and over again. She had some interesting things to say about repetition.And then, I did some research and found out even more interesting things about our affinity for repetition. It turns out, it's not just Little Brains who love it - us big kids love it too.It's how we learn new skills, how our brains seek connection, what makes songs so catchy, and how we build beliefs... and we're sensitive to it even before we're born!Join me inside to learn more!This week's episode is dedicated to my friend and colleague, Matt Coleman, who posed the focus question that inspired this episode, and whose son, Quinn, shares Zoey's affinity for repetition (whose podcast Zoey likes to listen to... repeatedly!) Special thanks to Claire Gillespie, who sent me lovely encouraging message right when I needed it most! Thank you, Claire!LINKSInstagram Facebook Group Facebook Page Coaching with Sarah NykorukThe Sprout and Stem Podcast - hosted by Quinn and Matt Coleman
