Tom tom's idea about setting aside a time to actually converse with your daughter is good, but you need a technique to shut her up when she annoys you. Two approaches: "Time Out", during which she has the choice of staying with you but being silent, or going to her room and closing the door. Set a specific time, no longer than about 20-30 minutes, then give her a chance to talk for a little while. Second approach, "Mirroring". Catch her when she's involved with something like a favorite TV program, and talk "at" her without stopping, just like she does to you. When she gets annoyed, point out to her that that's how you feel when she chatters around you when you're trying to concentrate on something.

LOL, isnt it great to have a child who can communicate so well. I'd say she's craving attention so my advice would be to try to focus her in a positive direction. Give her a task to do and praise her when she comes back and has done it. My 9yo talks a lot and is quite smart so I try to think of 'missions' for her. It might be 'go downstairs, find the dictionary, look up a particular word and bring it back to me'. That might give me a few minutes peace. You can make the missions more and more complicated (you'll have to so she doesnt get bored) to keep her busy for longer. e.g. 'find a picture of something and copy it onto drawing paper and add drawings of your 3 best friends'..stuff like that. It lets her focus on something other than the jabbering and its also good for her because its teaching that she can EARN the reward (in this case the attention) rather than taking it by annoying you. Just my thoughts. Good luck..

LOL. Thats what they do. I tell mine I need 5 min of peace. They lasted 30 sec. I said go to your room for the 5 min. I had to reread something 5 times and told them if they can't give me few min when I ask they will need to go to their rooms. I turn off to it most of the time but occassionally i just need to think in silence.

does she read? Have her read a book aloud while you do dishes. Are you actively listening. Repeat back what she says in your words. that should also slow her down and make her feel that she is heard. Keep it up after several repeats she will feel satisfied. five her a microphone to read books into, buy her a karaoke and let her sing. She needs to verbalize give her the tools to do it without you. hope these ideas help.

My mom got me in piano lessons! Try to occupy her time with something other then talking....Go to a craft store and have her help you pick out some craft ideas for the holidays and have her sit down and make stuff for the family. Good luck

oh lordy...I have the same problem, my daughter from the time she wakes up till she goes to bed ( and even sometimes during bed I have to tell her to hush as she will pretend to talk with her stuffed animals and toys, etc) there are times when there is like a second of quiet and she will just think of something, anything to talk about to fill up the silence, I think one of the causes is that they are told so much at school to not talk, that they have to when they come home, and then of course, their little brains just want to soak up all that info that they constantly have questions, which lead to more questions, and more stories, and more thoughts, etc etc, I always feel so mean when I'm like "okay, thats enough now, mommy wants quiet for at least five minutes" and then of course 20 seconds haven't even passed when she asks "has it been five minutes yet?" and that when I'm usually like..."go to your room and play for a little while" and again, it makes me feel awful, I don't want her to think that we don't want to talk to her, or that we don't think her stories or thoughts or questions are important, but, its constant, she gets put on yellow at school every single day for talking, she just can't seem to help herself, when I asked her pediatrician about it she said it was okay for me to let her know when it was time to stop talking, and that they need sometimes to know that just because your not talking doesn't mean we are not spending time together or noticing her., so I would just nicely say to her "okay sweetie, mommy needs some quiet time now so go find something you can quietly play with, or read."

Tell her you are busy right now, but that you will sit down and talk to her when you are finish, give her a time, then sit down and chat, with cookies and her favourite drink.

ahahah,
I think this would be the best time to record her and show her when she grows up:).
this is how kids are, perhaps you need to displine her.
