[quote=Anonymous]Well two things: 1) Kids will often have this ability, then lose it, and then take time to get it back. Some kids take a while to find their voice, and before that happens will just listen quietly while their parents talk. Then they find their voice and will struggle with this for a while because now that they have things to say, they want to say them RIGHT NOW. 2) It can happen in fits and starts. My 7 yr old is pretty good at this but will still sometimes struggle. My 5 yr old is largely terrible at it but at least a little better than she was at 4. As they get older, their ability to follow adult conversation increases, and that can make them more patient because the conversation isn’t just grown up blah-blah to them (like the teacher’s voice in Charlie Brown). But the more they understand the more they might interject, too. Two steps forward, one step back.[/quote]
