My daughter is 5, and very high energy. She has quite advanced language skills and is very smart. Others call her A.D.D. but i try to steer clear of that term. The problem is she talks WAY too much. While shes eating, going to the toilet, bathing, sitting by herself - you name it, she talks. Occasionally i ask her to be quiet, I tell her its quiet time, its good for people to have time to think. I usually have to ask her half a dozen times, she just doesnt seem able to shut up. I answer her questions and am a talkative person, I know ive encouraged her to ask and communicate and learn, and I dont want to damage her self esteem by ordering her to "shut-up please!!!!" occasionally, but it gets really frustrating. Does anyone else have this problem? And what do you think??
