If you could become the shadow of a 2- to 8-year-old, following along as the child goes about his or her daily activities, you would notice a curious form of language behavior—remarks in which the child seems to talk to himself or herself or to no one in particular.
This speech-to-self occurs frequently.
It can surface in virtually any of the child’s pursuits—during fantasy play, drawing and painting, building with blocks, tackling academic tasks, idly passing the time of day, and quieting down before naptime or nightly sleep.
Researchers call this spontaneous, self-directed talk private speech. Unlike adults, who self-consciously talk to themselves only in solitary moments, young children freely use private speech in public.
A kid's imagination is very active, as evidenced by the fact that they talk to themselves! It is a sign of a healthy, active imagination and a curious child.
