Repeat the Rule, Repeat the Rule, Repeat the Rule
How many times have you been able to learn a new concept or skill by only hearing the instructions one time? It can be very difficult to remember and get all the information correct by only hearing it once. Research tells us that the brain will remember information better if it is repeated at least 3 times. We need to repeat rules over and over for our children. They need to hear it many times. There is also a big difference between hearing and doing. Habits are formed when the same action is completed 30 to 40 times. So keep that in mind when you have to tell and make sure your child puts the toys away, hangs up their backpack, uses words instead of hitting or any other rule you have in your home.
