I feel a bit 
asking this. I did childminding for years then took a break, and should be used to and know what 3 year olds are like.
Anyway, this one is a child I childmind. and he talks. A lot. But it is often the same phrase or question over and over and over again, even if he has been answered. he also repeatedly copies phrases that my own Dses say, or other children do, and also mimics their movements. it is especially bad at toddler group, in fact I thought about stopping going. We all sit around on the floor and the children play. Sometimes he will follow one child and repeat what they say (Or mimic their movements), other times, if I am chatting to mums or other CMs there, he comes over and starts talking
example, today it was " my names x". So I said yes it is, you're a clever boy you know your name"
"My name's x"
"my names x"
"my names x"
Even in response to different things i said, or the other adult said, he just kept repeating over and over. Even if I say "oh I am talking to y's mummy just now" he doesn't stop he just keeps repeating louder and louder, until he starts saying something else, which he then repeats a lot. I left there early as the mum came to pcik him up
When I picked him up from nursery today, the mananger said "Can you tell his mum he seems to have talkitis today"
Anyway, is there any distraction, or change of habit techniques i can try, as it is starting to get to the older mindees and my Dses (who, yes I know are older and should be able to handle it, but it is constant and they don't get a break unless they move to another room)
