does she goes to school? if she does, you can ask for help from the teacher by explaining to her what a loud voice is.

if she's not yet going to school, maybe it's how she wants attention.

I guess you and I just have to wait and hope that our kids will eventually learn that "inside voice" technique.

What gets me more is that my son will talk in a low quiet voice in the CAR. I can't hear him half the time so I have to get him to speak up. He too does not have hearing issues.

sigh...

I agree, I think that maybe ignore her until she lowers her voice and after awhile I think she will get the point.

Ha, ha, ha! We need to get our kids together...my 4 year old is just like that.

I like to say about him, "He wakes up at sunrise and starts talking...and he has only one volume: LOUD". My husband (I think he's going deaf, honestly) doesn't think he's that loud. And my son does the exact same thing as your daughter..."I have only 4 pieces left", etc.

Tell me...does your daughter also constantly repeat phrases until someone pays attention? I was reading ljp's comment about ignoring, but in our case, it doesn't work because he will just keep saying it over and over, louder and louder, until he his acknowledged. I've tried to ignore him...he went a full half hour repeating his phrase. He's nothing if not tenacious!

Is it possible that she might have hearing loss?

Hi there!
Lol, I have a 7 year old who is still on the loud side. Curious thing I've noticed is when you start talking slow and quietly, they will tend to follow suit. Maybe you could give that a try. Good luck, hopefully she outgrows this soon.

Patience is the only thing I can suggest. My son is just about to turn 6 and miraculously he has started to be quieter on his own. I think this loud narrator thing is just a childhood phase.

Okay, I have no idea about parenting or anything like that but perhaps if you ignore her when she is talking loudly and after a while say "I won't have a conversation with you until you stop hurting my ears. When you talk quietly, I will listen to you and we can talk."
