[quote=Anonymous]Not a big deal. They grow out of it. We did. Depending on the kid, you can point it out, especially for a relevant issue. If she has a presentation for school or an extra curricular activity, you can have her record herself and try to leave out the verbal filler she's using. I'd occasionally ask my kids "is she like your friend, or is she your friend?" Most of use all sorts of repetitive language as place holders. It's not just kids. If you've interviewed someone for a job recently, how often did they say something like "That's a good question..." or some other pat phrase to give them a moment before launching into an answer?[/quote]
