My daughter is 6 years old and I swear she has no concept of how loud she can be. I can't take her to a restaurant or anywhere in public without telling her 5000 times to lower her voice. I babysit a 3 month old baby M-F and 5000 MORE times a day I'm telling her to stop shouting while the baby is napping.
She isn't doing it intentionally, she just seems to lack volume control. I've started pulling her aside and making her sit totally still with no movement or no sound for 2 minutes (which seems like forever when we're sitting there and I'm watching the clock). I thought this could remind her to keep her volume down, but I don't really feel right about punishing her for something she isn't doing intentionally. Any pointers on how I can teach my daughter to control her volume? Because clearly, telling her 5000 times a day isn't working.
