Why Does My Child Whisper to Herself? Unpacking Quiet Moments

Sometimes, I catch my daughter softly whispering to herself while playing or drawing. At first, I wondered if something was wrong or if she felt lonely. But as I watched her, I realized these quiet moments are her way of processing thoughts, practicing language, and even comforting herself. It reminds me of my own childhood, when I’d create imaginary worlds and talk through my feelings in hushed tones. Whispering can be a sign of creativity, self-soothing, or simply a way for kids to make sense of their world. Have you noticed your child doing this too?
