talking too much

LOL that is ironic

Oh my gosh, I am so much so there with my son right now. He just turned four last week and all he does now is talk, talk, talk. He is asking questions about everything these days and he also is never quiet from the time that he wakes up in the morning until the time that he goes to bed in the evening. He also has a vocabulary that is much more expansive than most other children that I know that are his age.

You must have children between the ages of 3 to maybe 8. Wait until they are into puberty, and you will hardly hear a word directed to you, except for I NEED. However, they will again have plenty of words - for their friends.

Hi, it is part and parcel of our child development and there is no way we can avoid it. Every children will go through this phase and we as a parent has to perform our duties. When my son reached his 1.5 years old, I am so eager to see him calling me "mummy"...but he still can't talk much and only those baby talks most of the time, As he grows older, he started to talk more words and when he first called me "mummy", I was extremely happy to hear it and I gave him a warmest hugs. Then slowly I taught him more words and now my son is very talkactive. Ask me alot of questions like what,why ,when,who...etc..and sometimes I just can't find the right answer to tell him. Especially when I was busy,how I wish he can slow down bit,stop asking me questions,but I knew it is impossible and frankly speaking,when my son is not at home, I do feel lonely and miss his voices.

Pretty funny to see it this way.. one day as they get older we will miss all their silliness though.

I have a three year old that wakes up asking questions no stop till bed time most of the time. I can't answer one question before she asks another. I can't get an word in edge wise. We were so excited when she was such a clear speaker, and such a good talker. Being that she was a preemie we are thrilled that she is so advanced. Now if we could just get her to slow down a bit. Every day I hear when I am 4 I can go to preschool and when I am 5 I can go to kindergarten. So maybe one day when I can get a word in I can tell her to be quiet for just a min so I can breath and to sit down instead of jumping off the couch LOL

Lol, that's true.I still remember when my parents told me how happy they are when I started to walk and talk. By that time they always taught me new words. But when I get older enough, sometimes when i talk they will always say "you keep your mouth shut". But I guess the reason why they let me shut my mouth is because i talk too much.

Yes and also a little sad. I am a stay at home dad and I can see it more and more everyday. You really have to try to remember what it is like to be their age. Get in touch with that inner child but be able to set an example for them. From what I am told, that energy wears off if you get them outside enough and stuff and also when they get older. I love kids. I was kind of raised to be a daddy. Just remember, they are little people. You aren't going to get anywhere being the enforcer all of the time. Sometimes you have to be the buddy. Then again, I have two sons and I am the dad. I hear that makes a difference.
