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!!
