I'm more straightforward, and I speak up more than I did before. When I was younger, I wouldn't speak up as much, but now that I'm a mom, things have changed.

When I was younger, I wouldn't speak up as much, but now that I'm a mom, things have changed.
I grew up as an only child. My parents weren't great conversationalists. We had a quiet house. I'm not very verbal.
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.
When I was child, I never spoke. Teacher used to write remarks on my note book. My mom sent me to a trainer. I started talking, and it gave me confidence.
My mother was a listener. I'm a talker. I'm very comfortable talking.
I had a lot of trouble speaking as a kid. I didn't really speak in coherent sentences until I was, like, 6 years old. There was a long time where everybody was very worried, because my sisters were so advanced for their age, and I would barely talk.
Maybe it was the home tutoring, or the late start to formal schooling, or an overly cautious and protective upbringing, but in any case, I never became a talkative person. As an adult, I am not always comfortable in social gatherings with small talk. I must have inherited my father's gentle nature.
I'm a mom. That probably hinders sometimes and helps sometimes. To some people, that makes me more approachable.
When I talk to other young people, I try to be as straightforward as possible. I'm a kid. I love getting outdoors. You should get outside, too!
As a kid, I was told to talk as much as possible.
