4yo repeats something endlessly (lemmy.world)

Help me out Dads. My 4 year old boy has an annoying habit of repeating something indefinitely until someone acknowledges what he said. For instance, we're watching Groot videos and I called him "little guy" and my kid said "he gets big though" like 20 times before I ended it by saying "yep totally". I usually don't let him go so long but I wanted to see if he'd give it up.

Is this a thing with kids? Do they grow out of it?

My son tells me what is happening a good three times on several occasions per week. He just wants me to acknowledge it, but sometimes he doesn't even give me a chance to respond before he starts his second iteration.
