Little girls talk too much

What do you do when the little girl in your life is being a motormouth mabel. Little girls are known to be very chatty and talkative, which can drive us adults crazy. Do you just endure the chitter-chatter, so as to not reject the child? Or do you limit her lengthy stories so that she doesn't grow up to be a chatterbox?

I will not going to shut them up. This shows that they are quite open and willing to talk to you. If you stop them from talking, next time you wanted so much for them to pour out their feeling, it will very hard. But, the downside is that they will be giving the teachers a hard time in school when there is a time they need to be quiet. It's so sweet to have a talkative little girls around.

I love such kids who chit chat and always have a lot to speak. It is so interesting to listen to their stories.Most of the times, it won't make sense, but then, they do really give us some happiness to speak to them. That is the beauty of innocence. You need not limit the kid for the future because, in the long run, they themselves learn what to speak and what not to speak as they would indeed learn a lot from their own stories that they speak.

I would not do anything to shut them down. I had 4 daughters and all of them would do that except for one. She will outgrow that. My grandaughter does that too and I just let her talk. Actually although I am mostly surrounded with little girls,I know people who have little boys that have that same trait. I think it is probably just a common thing for young kids just learning to talk and express themselves. I'd just engage them in conversation and teach them to listen as well as talk.

It's so interesting. I never think of this question though I have an eight-year-old daughter , yeah, like you said, chatty and talkative.I am always listening , no matter what she says. She is our only daughter, my husband and I always feel that the child nowadays are lonely, as they have no sisters or brothers, so we two are her best faithful listener. Sometimes I am glad that she likes talking, as when I was little, I was shy and afraid of talking to someone. I believe it's a good sign that she likes talking.
