What would happen if you denied the kid repetition and just gave him new content all of the time? Smarter or dumber?

>> No.4208046

>>4208043
dumber

without repetition you'd have no point of reference or context for anything, so you'd basically be feeding him gibberish.

i'm not kidding here, a lot of big named children's writers like Lewis Carol were more than likely paedos.

>The Tiger Who Came to Tea
>A little girl named Sophie is having tea with her mother in their kitchen. Soon they are joined for tea by a tiger who drinks all the tea, eats all the food in the house and drinks everything, even draining the water from the taps, so that Sophie cannot have her bath. Then he leaves. Sophie's father comes home and suggests that they all go out and have a lovely meal in a cafe. The following day Sophie and her mother go out to buy some more food, including a big tin of tiger food. But the tiger never returns.
