“We may not ever know why some books come to exert such spellbinding power that children want to hear them again and again. Perhaps it will forever be a mystery, like love. There does however seem to be one solid, prosaic explanation: children enjoy repeating books because the experience imbues them with feelings of competence and mastery; because, with each reading, they understand a bit more of what they’re seeing and hearing.” by Meghan Cox Gurdon … an excerpt from π˜›π˜©π˜¦ 𝘌𝘯𝘀𝘩𝘒𝘯𝘡𝘦π˜₯ 𝘏𝘰𝘢𝘳.


This explanation captures the very reasons why 𝘍π˜ͺ𝘷𝘦 π˜ͺ𝘯 𝘒 π˜™π˜°π˜Έ has you read the same story five days in a row to your child! How wonderful for a child to learn new things and feel confident in their thinking and abilities!

    Yes, and I’m finding that when I commit to reading the book five days in a row (as opposed to reading it every few days over two weeks), that books becomes a real favourite. Currently, we’re doing Hello, Lighthouse and we’re just loving it. We’re staying with my father, who lives in a harbour with spiral stairs, and we went to see the local lighthouse. It’s just so amazing – and a God-given gift – that it’s all working out this way.

    I’m recording our week on my blog and hope to have it published on Friday. Hope it can encourage or inspire other mothers.
