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, then they will repeat it and increase their skills 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.   Children are therefore wired to repeat what they like and this fact can therefore be used to increase their knowledge and abilities through home learning increasing their skills in all areas of learning.   Using The Learning Well Memory Map is a fun and 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 and their repeated use in home learning will massively increases their abilities in all areas including schoolwork.   These Memory Mapping skills are explained in more detail at The Learning Well and other websites.   What is Memory Mapping? Well it’s a bit like Tony Buzan’s Mind Mapping but highly focused on the skills of learning and remembering in a very easy and structured fun way. Both kids and adults love the technique
