30,000 words a day??
I just read in Parents magazine that you're supposed to speak 30,000 words a day to your children (the equivalent of reading 'The Cat in the Hat' out loud, 21 times!!)
I think I'm falling a little short! Is it just me???!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

Feels like I tell my boys to clean their room and stop fighting 30,000 times a day! LOL!

I don't know if I hit it every day, but I talk a LOT. lol. I wouldn't be surprised if I was somewhere in that ballpark many days.

A good part of that for me is probably nagging at them, lol. Still, I don't know that I hit that daily.

Goodness, how would anyone know how many words they've said in one day? It's not like we could use a pedometer that counts the words instead of steps!!! LOL Or maybe that will be invented one day.

I am a pretty quiet person and I'm sure I don't say that much unless I'm lecturing one of the big ones! Then I may get close
I don't see any reason to babble on and on to children, though, really. They learn just by living with you, listening to your conversations, etc. I've never babbled endlessly to my kids and they all have great vocabularies, are very smart, and do well with their schoolwork.
I think endless chatter teaches children to chatter endlessly... and sometimes I want some peace and quiet!

I'd have to also count how many times I say Stop It or Don't do that and see what I come to! What happened to Silence is Golden?
Mom to
and my IVF/PGD
It's better to look back on life and say: "I can't believe I did that" than to look back and say "I wish I did that".
