Why ten minutes a day beats an hour on Sunday

It is tempting to save practice for the weekend, when there is more time. But for young children, a little every day works much better than a lot once a week.

Memory likes repetition

Coming back to an idea after a day or two, just as it starts to fade, is one of the most reliable ways to make it stick.

Short sessions stay positive

Ten minutes ends before anyone gets tired or cross. Finishing on a good note makes tomorrow's session easier to start.

Streaks help

Children love a streak. Counting the days in a row turns a chore into a small daily win, which is why quokid shows one on every screen.
