Have you ever tried to talk to a baby or a toddler? They never look you square in the eyes, they know about three words, and God forbid they ever ask you how you're doing. It's all about them!
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Ever see a little kid walking around talking to himself? I'm the same way.
You can't say one thing and behave another way. Kids learn more from watching you in life than what you say to them.
It's quite funny because I always talk to baby through Susie's belly, and every time I start speaking, I just get kicked in the face.
Many people must have noticed the intense attention given by children to the conversation of grown-ups when they cannot possibly be understanding a word of what they hear. They are trying to get hold of words, and they often demonstrate this fact by repeating joyously some word which they have been able to grasp.
When I was a kid, I hated being talked to as a kid. I don't know if all kids feel that way, but I seem to remember awful things in the crib, something like people doing baby talk in the crib and sticking their big, fat faces in there and scaring me. So I always talk to kids as if they were a person.
I know things, but I shut my mouth. They don't want me to speak, so I don't speak.
In fact, their eyes sort of roll around and they kind of go, 'Hmm'- like there's something there and they don't want to talk about it. But they're not that kind when they are speaking in public.
I've noticed that since I've been pregnant I see babies everywhere. I love talking to them. I never used to really like kids that much. I guess it comes out of you naturally.
I abhor 'baby talk.' I speak to kids like I would any other person, and they seem to respond to it.
Everyone learns how to talk by doing an impression of their parents. I'm one of many people who has a highly developed ability to do that.
