Mckinney, I am glad you had the opportunity to read the information about auditory kids and save your daughter from your sister. She has no problem. I have one of them at home and have worked with so many of them, they are just perfect and if you let them be, they will be awesome kids. you can search the blog for all articles about auditory people and find ways to help your daughter excel with a bit more appreciation to her her style. I am glad reading other parents helps. Happy day Ronit www.behappyinlife.com C. Mckinney,

My daughter who is 11 talks to herself all the time. My sister makes fun of her for it and has tried to convince me that my daughter has a serious problem. I have worried about it for some time but I also know that my other sister used to do the same thing. It helps to see other comments from parents who are dealing with the same thing.

( we have a joke at home, my 21 year old says "I will google it" for everything we talk about and she doesn't know enough or wants to know more) Your son is probably an auditory kid. It is not a disease, like other people ( who expects everyone to do things the same way) think. It is a wonderful ability that can be highly developed. I wrote other articles about the communication styles and if you need more ammunition to be prepared for his teachers' comments just search this site. I am happy it helped. If you need any more tips and ideas to help him excel with this style, ask, I will be happy to answer. Happy parenting Ronit Hi Mary,

I'm so glad I did. Your site has eased my mind. I clearly identified with you. My son now 10, talks to himself whether anyone is listening or not. And everything you stated he does too. His fourth grade teacher said he had focusing issues, short of saying he had ADD. But his math and reading scores were way up there. I was concerned about his talking, because my husband has a brother and cousin who are paranoid schizophrena. And I was afraid that my son was going down this path. As my son enters fifth grade I will be better prepared to handle any teachers comments about my son's thinking aloud. I'll tell them to look up "auditory child" on the internet and hopefully this will help enlighten them. And I will prepare my son for what's coming ahead for him. Interestingly, my three other kids never did this, two of them hardly ever talk. But they are all great listeners. My 10 yr old is the last child at home.
