Repetition

Indiana Montessori Academy • May 15, 2023

"Why repetition? Well, it helps us focus. It helps us concentrate. It gives us confidence. It also helps us to “perfect” and refine our senses, as we learn to navigate and appreciate the world. Repetition takes perseverance and determination. What beautiful characteristics to develop."



BAAN DEK MONTESSORI


Parents sometimes wonder why their child is still repeating a material, yet again or if the child will exhaust the materials in the environment.  As the adults in the Montessori environment, we encourage and welcome the repetition of actions and use of materials.  We carefully observe the children to note why they are repeating a material or if they need to be repeating a material.  This repetition only lends itself to mastery and retention.  This is how we all learn and progress and only leads to success!
