Why children repeat the same questions, according to psychology
Original: Psychology says children who ask the same question repeatedly may not be ignoring the answer; they may be
Psychology commentary circulating in parenting coverage suggests that children who ask the same question over and over may not be ignoring the answers they receive. Instead, the behaviour is framed as a normal part of development: repetition helps young children process information, test consistency of responses and seek reassurance. Parenting writers are urging adults to respond patiently rather than assume defiance or inattention.
Why now: Parents are sharing the explanation because repetitive questioning is a common, often frustrating stage of child development
