27 October 2026Growing up
We've read the same book every night for three months. Should I worry?
Not at all. Repetition is how toddlers learn: they predict what comes next, learn new words and feel safe in something familiar.
Try this tonight
Lean into it: pause before a favourite line and let them finish it, or ask "What happens next?" Offer a new book alongside the favourite, not instead of it.
When to check in
No check-in needed.

You're not alone.
