I can tell you that, yes, its completely normal! Its usually something kids outgrow, but I usually write it on progress reports as well. </p> <p>One little girl I had last year (she was only 3 at the time) could recognize not only her name written down, but she could also match up other students to his/her name. She was sooo smart, but that child never. stopped. talking. Haha she talked to herself at naptime. </p> <p>I don't think you have anything to worry about. Just keep reminding her not to interrupt other people and she'll probably eventually grow out of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/those-with-pre-kindergarten-aged-children#post-36621 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 20:37:47 +0000 Navy_Mommy 36621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's totally normal for that age and I think it'll take a while for her to grow out of it. My close friend's 5 year old does it constantly. Not really sure how to stop it, but I know it's a completely normal stage of development so don't feel bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/those-with-pre-kindergarten-aged-children#post-36618 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 20:30:54 +0000 Miss Adia 36618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hush! lol She is a talker. ha ha ha. I was just shocked to see it in writing! I was like oh no! I never made it an issue at home when she interrupted me on the phone or things like that. I would just tell her she had to wait her turn. Now I'm like DON'T DO IT AT ALL!!!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/those-with-pre-kindergarten-aged-children#post-36454 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 14:32:57 +0000 Wondermommy 36454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I STILL have to remind my oldest to not interrupt. Along with reminding him EVERY SINGLE damn day to do his chores, etc etc. I sound like a broken record. And he's 11, lol.<br /> I think it's just difficult for some kids that have a lot to say. There's so much in their little minds, they have to get it out!<br /> Also, I was a talker in school, always getting in trouble for it, so I don't put too much stock in it if that's the biggest behavior problem we have to worry about, ya know? </p> <p>P.S. Really? You're surprised YOUR daughter is a talker, just bursting with loads to say? Lol! ;P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/those-with-pre-kindergarten-aged-children#post-36402 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 13:20:44 +0000 Miss Adia 36402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know if it's just my child or if this is normal, but we got her progress report on Friday and she has 5 stars in everything except for one category. The teacher wrote a note stating that she interrupts teachers during group time and gets distracted easily when in group play.</p> <p>It's funny because while I was sitting in the doctors office during her 5 year check up, I read something in Parenting that 5-6 year olds have trouble with that, but it still doesn't make me feel better. Her teachers have said that she is ready for kindergarten though and if our county wasn't so backwards, she could have tested in early, but they don't allow it anymore.</p> <p>We've told her COUNTLESS number of times to not interrupt adults when they are talking and it does't seem to be sticking. Should we start corner/time out time if it doesn't stick? I just feel like it's not a punishable offense, but now I am rethinking it. Anyone else have pre-k children? </p>
