My child spills out household details
My 4 year old daughter is a compulsive talker and spills out every small detail of her house to her kindergarten teacher.
Ironically the teacher also enjoys listening to everything she talks about and never asks her to be mindful while talking.
She tells her what I eat , what I purchase for myself, who feeds her breakfast, who helps her clean up after she poops , each day has different details.
When I ask her if the teacher asks for these details, she tells me that she is spilling out everything without being asked by the teacher.
How should I stop her from doing this. Please suggest.

Hello,
For children below 10-12 years of age, the most common approach is to suggest therapy for the parent.
Suggesting therapy to someone doesn't mean we are doing any kind of fault finding in the parenting aspect. It simply means how parents can learn to approach this situation in a way that is most helpful for the child.
Your Psychologist will be able to guide you through how you can approach preliminary assessment of your child to ensure there are no other immediate concerns before your therapy can begin.

Hi
You are feeling anxious about your four year old daughter being a compulsive talker. You are also anxious about her revealing everything to her kindergarten teacher. It is important to know if your daughter talks too much at home. It is also important to know if she is able to focus in school and if she has made friends. I suggest you consult a psychiatrist and explain about your child’s behaviour. If you feel there could be something that is making your daughter feel anxious or upset consult a psychologist for counselling sessions.
I suggest for your daughter consult a psychiatrist first and then consult a psychologist for counselling sessions. I understand you are worried about your daughter. Don’t worry too much. Book an appointment with a psychiatrist and psychologist and they will guide you.
Next Steps

Hi ,
As your child's primary life coach, you are actually helping her if you set some boundaries around excessive sharing - talking to the teacher.
It is part of preparing her for the world , this serves as a good developmental step toward self-regulation .
If you have concerns that your child's detailed sharing with her teacher could be part of a more profound issue, bring it up with your pediatrician.
A pediatrician is equipped to screen for the need to have a more thorough behavioral and developmental assessment with a child psychologist and will guide you .
Next Steps
Consult a pediatrician
