So What Happened?

My daughter said that she wants to be like her teacher, and thats why she talks to her self because she doesn't have any students. Thanks everyone for your request.

If she is not doing so with harm and more as pretend play, then yes it's normal. If you're worried, talk to her ped. about it. My 4 1/2 year old talks to his self all the time, but his older step brother is 15, so he's basically an only child.

OMG Yes. This is so normal. You have a bright, imaginative and creative little lady. I still do, especially when I'm working through a problem. Each of us have two sides to our brain and three parts to our personality. She will figure things out for herself, she will make healthy choices and have a solid core personality. If this conversation with herself sounds angery or upset, Ask her what she's thinking about? That is when she is having a problem that she needs her mommy's help with solving. You are so lucky to have such an emotionaly healthy young lady. By the way be gentle, she is a sensetive one. With love and respect from one Mom to another.

Oh yeah its normal. My daughter has an extremly good imagination. I have always tried to promote it. She can entertain herself all day long. My daughter is 4 and she has been talking to herself since she learned how to talk. We have had imaginary friends. More than one they seem to come everytime we meet someone new. If she likes the new person shell name her imaginary friend after them. Now that we are expecting a baby she has imaginary little sisters. They say one of the signs that your child is gifted is if they have a vivid imagination. Maybe your daughter is a genius.:)

If she talks to and answers herself when she's alone, she's probably just very creative and very verbal. My kids do a lot of that -- even still at age 10, when playing. (And they are very creative, intellectually gifted, sociable children). If she is doing this when she's around others, in groups, and in classes, then you might want to check into it further.

Does she do this when she is playing or all the time? Mine do it when they are playing with toys, you know, making voices for each one. Is that what she does? I think she is probably just fine.

My daughter is 18 months and she wanders about the house "talking" to herself and to me and then to herself again. I love it. I think you should cherish this time and not be afraid. I understnad how every odd thing makes you worry. You love her. It's your job to worry; but have faith too. I would listen to the things she is talking about and be more concerned with her subject matter than the action itself. Is she sorting out her own fears? Is she asking questions that you might help her answer? It's all about listening, I believe. And answering, and not being afraid that your baby is different. God love her and all her differences. She is your snowflake! Best and dearest regards to you both!

Normal? Yes! You may also have an auditory learner on your hands. If so, she will learn best with songs, poems/rhymes, and reading out loud, etc. She sounds like a creative one! Enjoy!

Yes, it's normal. Don't worry, try to get her active with other children. I have four and 3 of them did the same thing.
