Hannah has a lot to say today. . . so much that she apparently can’t nap . . . mostly she just looks around the room and says the name of whatever she sees along with people’s names. Not so much on the full sentences. And mommy must respond to all sentences otherwise they are repeated until acknowledged. I might go crazy today.

Katy L As hard as it may seem and as crazy as I may be….. Reward her for any moment of silence, even if she is just taking a breath. Make sure to say things like,”nap time is quiet time.” or whatever phrase you tell her. Later reward her for talking during time thy it is acceptable to talk. That wu you don’t have to respond. Ti help with planned ignoring pit your iPod in your ears or pretend someone is singing camp songs. Hopefully you can teach her when it is ok to talk and not.
Rebecca Diltz Nate Moehring I have a daily required minimum hour of “quite time” which usually consists of her staying in her room and talking and often means me ignoring her if she comes out of her room (rarely she will actually take a nap). But today it was an hour of screaming and then when she was “released”, the conversation described above. Usually I don’t mind the babbling, but I was just already tired without a little break today and needed to rant. 🙂
Nina M So cute!
