Here's why you're singing the same nursery rhyme for the 7,000th time to a toddler.
I have always been curious as to why some children fixate on a beloved toy for months or even years. For my nephew, it was a playroom exploding with Thomas trains and a remarkable ability to recall dozens of choo-choo names before he could wipe his own bottom. For my three year-old son, it has been the classic nursery rhymeThe Humpty fascination struck without warning — one morning our YouTube algorithm offered a never-ending series of Humpty clips.
I was reassured after chatting with Dr. Jacqueline Penn, a child & adolescent psychiatrist at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine, that preoccupations like Humpty are typical and healthy at this age: “I think we are too quick to label kids today, so in my work I always want to pathologize less — I think the word ‘deep interest’ or ‘fascination’ is appropriate, as opposed to fixation or obsession.
And after so much time apart during the pandemic, the joy of spending quality time with his grandparents again while playing Humpty could have cemented the positive association. I’ve now spent several hours of my adult life analyzing different walls . Plus, for the two days my boy only wanted to play Humpty with a real, uncooked egg, he quickly learned that once the egg cracked into a lot of pieces, it was impossible to put him back together again
