[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It drives me nuts too. I ask DD to "Say that again, without all the likes" sometimes, or will interrupt her and say "You've now said 'like' four times and still haven't gotten out the gist of the sentence. Take a breath, think about what you want to say, THEN spit it out." If she could codeswitch I would be okay with that. [b]So far (7th grade) she doesn't seem capable of that[/b]. Jeans in 90 degree weather sounds awful! [/quote] Yes, she is. Explain the idea to her. You can even do some role-playing -- "Tell me [something] as though I were your friend. OK, now tell me the same thing as though I were your teacher. OK, now tell me the same thing as though I were your grandmother." Or you can show her how you do it, because you do it too. Everybody does.[/quote] I already did. She found it so difficult that she gave up on speaking. And this is a kid who never shuts up. I'll try again, but right now, she's not capable of it. [/quote]
