Going on holiday for a week with friends and their DD who is just turned three. We have a DD too but she is only one. Mentioned to friends that I find it awkward to try to make small talk with a 3 year old and they all thought this was hilarious. I'm sure in two years time I'll be a conversational wizard with pre schoolers but I don't understand how people know how to talk to small children when they have no experience with that age group! So a) it is unreasonable that I have no idea how to converse with a 3 year old child? And b) what should I talk to her about?! Btw I'm not socially imcompetent, I work with children with severe mental health issues, but I seem to find it easier to talk to 15 year olds about self harm than to talk to a 3 year old about Peppa Pig.
