Why do children repeat the same actions again & again? Each time can bring a small change, a new discovery or growing confidence. Sometimes the best support we can offer is time, space & permission to keep going. The repetition is often the learning.

As a parent, I really wish I’d known about schemas! Repeating, filling, moving, wrapping, dropping… it can drive you daft! But repetition can be part of a deeper pattern of thinking. Sometimes the better question is, what’s this child working out? #Edusky #ScotEduSky

What if we looked again? 👀
A repeated action might look distracting or disruptive to an adult, but it may also be persistence, curiosity or enquiry. One of the biggest things I took from my dissertation was this: schema knowledge can give us a reason to pause, notice and look again. #ScotEduSky #EY
