Thanks, Tallulah and kimck. I guess I really don't know what the other kids are doing at home either. Maybe they too prattle on about how "the moon has rocks and mountains just like the earth"....:-)
It doesn't matter what or how they're talking at home, the important thing is that a significant number of children are a lot quieter at school than at home. Of the five preschool classes I've participated in, at least 25% of the children almost never talked at school, but talked at home according to their parents. Sometimes you'd overhear them leaving the playground as the child opened up and started to chatter. That includes children who are requiring special arrangements at elementary school because they're ahead of their peers. Mine was one of them, it was just being shy, the massive amount of stimulation there is at preschool, that sort of thing. She's found her voice at school now, though.
