She never stops talking, complaining, whining, crying, shouting, asking questions, narrating her whole life.
I'll say now that I'm a childminder and have 4 children of my own so not unused to child noise. But this is a whole different level. I'm actually losing the ability to think straight and concentrate on anything else.
She certainly knows how to control herself. In other settings she adjusts her behaviour to suit so I've no worries about underlying issues. She was a 'high needs' baby and I had another child very soon after her so I've always put it down to that and assumed she'd outgrow being so loud!
Will she grow out of it or is this just her personality?
She's very bossy and is a terrible loser, any tips?
How do we calm her down in general? She's my only girl and all the boys are very calm and placid. I don't wish to gender stereotype but are girls generally louder? I haven't felt this is especially true from my childminding.
Everything is a trauma. She banged her knee on the table earlier and from the screaming coming from her you'd have though she'd been stabbed!
On the flip side she's very charming! I always have people telling me how lovely and charming and endearing she is. Has a lovely smile and sweet words and lots of friends and children who flock to her. She has friends who argue over sitting next to her (opposite of home!). We're just all so weary from the volume and dramatics. Help!
