[quote=Anonymous]It's because of the baby. My 4 year old isn't doing it quite as much as you describe with your 3 year old, but we have a 7 month old at home, and it's very much coming from the baby. He tries to talk to the baby like the baby is "talking" and tries to babble with us because he sees that we think it's cute when the baby babbles. I think this is very normal and just something to go along with until he gets tired of it. If you try to distract him with other games and activities, he should switch out of it In the meantime, just accept it and say things like, "Aw, it's too bad that I can't understand you. I really like talking with you. I hope we'll be able to have a conversation again soon." Don't use the "you're a big boy and shouldn't talk like a baby" line -- I personally hate this type of reasoning and think it makes kids act more like a baby and feel resentful.[/quote]
