Before I had kids, I rarely watched the same movie a second time. Let alone for a one-hundredth time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But my kids seem to have an insatiable desire for re-watching the same movies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some experts think kids like to re-watch films<\/a> for the same reason they like to read the same books over and over again: To a kid, everything<\/strong> is new. That can be stressful. The idea that the world is a predictable place is reassuring to a child<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s why hearing or watching the same story makes them happy. Because they know what’s going to happen next. No surprises.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n My kids have dragged me along on this movie repetition ride. I thought eventually, it would drive me to take a sledgehammer to every kids’ DVD we own, then use the silvery shards to stab out my own eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n
