I don't know how to explain this, it's probably going to sound a bit weird.
My dd is 3, 4 next week. Yesterday morning she started ending 90% of her sentences with a really pronounced inflection. It's come from nowhere, it's really bizarre. I've tried to ask her why she is talking 'differently' but she says she had a sore throat and its changed her voice (??!!!!! - no sore throat as far as I know!). When I ask her to repeat something, it's almost like she struggles not to do it.
I sat with her this morning to 'test' it a bit, and read the gruffalo. She knows it off by heart; I start the sentence, she finishes. She did that 'normally' - no inflection. Then at the end of the book I asked her what she thought happens next, and straight away the inflection is back, like.... 'Its the gruffalos child? She's in the cave? Snowing? We read it last night mum?' Etc. and no, she's not saying those things AS questions, that's how the inflection makes it sound though.
I'm obviously aware children are susceptible to absorbing influences around them, but this is just random, if it had come from tv or something she had heard at school, surely it wouldn't have started on a normal Saturday morning at home. It's so odd, and she can't seem to stop doing it. Sounds like she's come back from a year in Australia!
I'm not sure how to react to it (to be honest, it's really grating, sorry!) and I don't know if I should be pulling her up on it constantly or just ignoring it and hoping it goes as quickly as it came.
Anyone got any ideas why she's doing it? Or what I should be doing about it? Very odd!!!
