Listen "S2E6 | The Role of Repetition in Learning, Unschooling, and Shaping Identity"
Episode Synopsis
What’s the value of doing the same thing more than once? In this episode of Ladies Fixing the World, Cecilie Conrad, Sandra Dodd and Sue Elvis unfold repetition—how it shows up in our lives, why it matters, and what it reveals.Together, they examine how children tend to gravitate toward watching the same films, reading the same stories, or playing the same games. Rather than dismissing these habits, they unpack the deeper role of repetition in building understanding, creating comfort, and developing personal interests.They explore repetition in unschooling: how revisiting material or ideas becomes a natural part of learning when children are trusted to follow their own curiosity. The conversation weaves through stories of old VHS collections, gaming habits, repeated drawings, Shakespeare, and art museums, highlighting how adults also rely on rhythm, ritual, and recurrence.The episode explores what it means to share stories across generations, how collections shape identity, and how repetition becomes a part of a family’s language. Whether it's a child rewatching Barbie movies or a parent replaying Beatles records, this is a conversation about attention, trust, and the rhythms we all rely on. 🔗 Sandra, Sue and Cecilies websiteshttps://sandradodd.com https://storiesofanunschoolingfamily.com https://cecilieconrad.com 🔗 Links & Resources mentioned:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P._D._Q._Bachhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22Weird_Al%22_YankovicVermeer's Hat: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermeer%27s_Hat 🗓️ Recorded January 16, 2025. 📍 Åmarksgård, Solrød, Denmark Support the showIn season 3 of Ladies Fixing the World, host Cecilie Conrad is joined by longtime unschooling voices Sandra Dodd and Sue Elvis to explore unschooling as a lifestyle.
