Repetitious Learning is THE ONLY WAY

These?days,?I find myself re-viewing movies I enjoyed the first time?and now seeing things I never noticed the first [or second] viewing.?

There are VERY FEW cases of one-trial learning.??One of the exceptions, of course, is the young child burning their hand?on a?hot stove.??But there are very few instances of that.

I was writing recently about RESILIENCE in teenagers – and made the point that, even with the greatest accomplishments – no one gets it right the first time.

SO – guidance for your teen: remind them that, for most people, they have to go over any new learning again if not several times.

In grad school, there was one 72-page chapter that I knew was crucial to learn and know. I probably re-read that chapter at least a dozen times – despite the fact that my mother told me when I was young that I was very intelligent???

So - encourage your teens to VALUE repetitious learning!!
