[quote=Anonymous]My 4.5 yo DD is an only, but she's far from used to monopolizing all adults' attention. Most kids that age are in school at least some of the time, where they learn to wait, take turns, and navigate conversation. My DD, who would (and does) talk for hours at a time without stopping, still knows that she needs to give other people space to talk sometimes. In fact, we had a contractor at the house the other day, who was talking to me and DH about a construction project, and she actually raised her hand to ask permission to interrupt, which I thought was quite funny. Obviously, that's not how we normally live, but she was applying school norms at home since she knew they worked at school. That said, the competition thing is a problem for us too, and the Olympics made it worse. Now, it's not just "I'm the fastest," but "I win the gold -- you win the bronze." We're working on that.[/quote]
