I don't have kids, but I spend a lot of time with children through baby-sitting in my neighborhood. Kids crave one -on - one with their parents. Some kids don't have a big chance to talk in groups, or maybe they are to shy to do so, but often feel safe with their parents. At 10 it is that pre-teen just starting to out-grow childhood period where they are truly starting to be unique individuals.While it may be hard to listen to an excited 10 year old girl for long periods of time, just think of in 4 years you may have to fight with her to get her to talk to you at all. Be excited that your child wants to tell you so much, and express her ideas, it is part of her growing up. You were probably excited when she took her first steps, well this is her becoming a free-thinking individual.
If she is just constantly talking and even though it is a great stage in her life and you still don't have patience, maybe try talking with her. Explain that while you love listening to her (even if you don't but saying you don't like hearing it could really hurt her), sometimes you need quiet time with her. Maybe make it up to her by planning some special time with her, like seeing a movie, where she does need to be quiet. Expressing yourself honestly (but nicely)and calmly towards your children may help your relationship in the trying years ahead.

Shes 10, there is absolutly nothing wrong with this...first of all shes away from you for probably 6 to 8 hours a day and has lots of information to share with you... the world is still new and exciting to a 10 year old let her share her experience with you... because there will come a day when you wont be able to get two words from her and that is not too far away (adolescence 12-18)

I remember doing this to my dad when i was about 7-10. It's only because he was the one to give us kids the most praise and admiration.
When kids hit about 13 it all changes remember.. We're right the Parent's are wong and don't talk to me!!!
I have a 9yr old sister, when she comes to my house or I go to there's, she doesn't shut up! I know what you mean. But I'm 27 so she looks up to me so I can understand where she's coming from too.
It'll pass, but at least you know she adores you for a Mum and a friend!

Make sure you spend some time with her each day after school. Give her a chance to tell you about her day. Maybe play a game. Then at say 7-8pm tell her its time for her to give you some space. This means not talking unless its an emergency to you. Help her come up with ideas to entertain herself...
Homework (extra studying), reading, puzzles, Computer.

That is what ten year old human creatures do . . .talk. It's Nature's gift to parents, like a birdsong of childhood and sweetness, like the brilliant explosion of Autumnal colors before the grimness of winter and the heartbreaking reticence of adolescence. She'll go silent and sullen soon enough. Enjoy the sounds of her voice while it lasts.

I have an 11 year old with the same problem. But be thankful your problem is not at school. I hate to say it but i'm sure she didin't just start chatting it up at 10 years old. no this was going on for some years and it seems the older they get the worse it becomes. the only approach is the direct one. everything that comes in your head doesn't need to be spoken.

i was like that.
its cause she loves you and thinks you know everything adn wants to tell you EVERYTHIGN about her day so you cna help her and cause youre her mom and she thinks oyu can tell her anyhting.shell grow out of it at about 12,13.
thats when YOURE gonna be bothering her for answers.and the conversation will be:
mom:how was school
daughter:fine
mom:did you learn anything new?what did you learn
daughter:yea,stuff
mom:how are your-
daughter:CAN YOU JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!?!?!?!
so cherish this.even if it is annoying.
