My daughter talks very loud, my son just screams…life is wonderful…

My daughter was noisy as well, we where always saying please use your inside voice.

My kids are the same.. I encourage them to use their ‘quiet voice’ and I whisper along with them, and if they get too loud we go ‘SShhh’ together.. my 2 year old hears the ‘Sshhh’ and stops what hes doing, puts his finger to his lips and says ‘SShhh’

Trying to get attention testing new bounaries

currently experiencing this with my daughter.. we are “trying” to get her to realise there is “inside voice” and “outside voice” no luck so far…lol.. i think it comes down to the fact they get so excited so easily and they dont really know/understand the difference just yet

My daughter is the same we also try the inside and outside voice

At kindy they get told they have an inside voice and an outside voice, that’s what we do x

My two boys have had their volume set on high, it seems sometimes, since day one. My six year old is especially bad at times so I find myself saying I am right beside you just talk and use your inside voice. I think they just get excited and need reminding.

I’m sure it’s just one of those phases. If he is yelling to you when he’s talking to you and asking you about something, tell him you can’t understand because he’s too loud and it hurts your ears.

Little ones can be loud, but if you are concerned I would consider having his hearing checked.

Mine is not only loud but talks non-stop. Repeating what he has said in a quieter voice sometimes works, and then he usually repeats himself more quietly and i praise him for it. I also tell him I can hear him, I’m right here. You can only try, and look forward to quiet time when they go to bed 😉

My toddler is exactly the same! We are trying to use ‘inside voices’ and ‘outside voices’ as cues for what is the best behaviour

Sorry to tell you but I have a 15yr old and he has always been loud and still is! There has never been an in between!

Totally normal! I usually politely interrupt my 4yr old and say “stop, can you hear how mummy is talking?” He’ll say “yes” i say “and mummy isnt yelling and you can still hear me, You only need to speak so mummy can hear you ok”

I think the constant reminder with the practical example really helps him understand! But that doesn’t mean he’s never just loud anyway! :p

My little Miss is quiet at times when she is not confident about something. Loud when she really is excited. I think every kid goes through things like this but as he is still a toddler, he probably doesn’t get that there is such a thing as too loud! Good luck and thank you for sharing. 🙂

haha my son is like this when out and about.. i see it as his way of letting me know where he is as I can always here him!!!

Perfectly normal. At this stage little ones’ ears and sound processing system (for want of a better term!) are still developing. They will spend a few months making lots of noise at high volume for a few reasons, one of which is that as they grow they learn to gauge volume and what it takes to be heard, as well as how their own voice sounds. It’s a cool new trick! They are also learning about echo and reverberation. Also, after spending many months watching us interact and communicate, they are testing out their own skills at this and have a real need to be heard! They have 2 years worth of learning to share with you ~ Meaning they have been collecting information and now they are telling you! It’s annoying at times, I like peace and quiet and it’s often loud at my house. Just remember that this is an important time and without it they wouldn’t be growing 🙂

Loud or silent. No in-between!

My boys are the same so I make a game out of talking in a quieter voice and they usually copy me and understand and if they don’t I tell them that the puppy dog needs to sleep so we have to use our quiet voices!

Get over it, he’s a kid!
