    Re: Super loud kids

    Have more time - longer post now!

    So yeah, a friend's child was like this (don't get me wrong - I have very exuberant, noisy boys, but it's not a constant thing) and she spent a *lot* of time helping her child to learn "levels" of volume (level 1 was whispering, level 3 was "indoor" voice, level 5 was excited, outside voice.

    My friend had no misconceptions that this was about naughtiness - it was awareness, and it became apparent that it sprang from hearing difficulties. Ultimately, after lots of specialist appointments, they got tubes in her ears. It took a months or two to acclimatise, but it's all good now

    My little bro was similar - but he got labelled naughty, colour blind, maybe ADD - it was just hearing issues. He got tubes, realised it was that he wasn't hearing the teacher, the colour names, his own volume - same as my friend's daughter, after a little while everything fell into place.

    Good luck!

    My girls are very loud, the girls next door are louder ie I can hear them clearly through our double brick wall yet if I whisper the word chocolate at the other end of the house they will hear me without fail. No idea why but they are all just very loud kids.

    Get her hearing checked just to be sure but it may be just the way she is.
