Why do we talk "funny" to our pets and kids??
I know I do.. I usually "put on" some high pitch version of my voice when Im talking my (or anyone elses) pets.. I bet if I would have someone record what Im saying and how im saying it... I would end up sounding like one crazy mofo.. ;-)
dont have any kids.. but.. EACH and EVERYONE of my friends talk the same way with their kids.. On my way to the gym today I cross paths with 3 diffirent women, talking "funny" (high or low pitch voices and funny words) with their kids... why do we do this? hehe.. any studies on this "phenomena"? |
and also.. do YOU also do this? ;-)
|
i do.
i do it to my nieces & nephews, and to my dogs. it's some kind of baby talking them to get their attention & to project that it's fun or play time. i enjoy doing it cuz it relaxes me. it's fun to look idiot at times LOL :bonk: |
here's an ARTICLE on why we baby talk kids... sorry but they didn't mention about pets :D
hope it helps :) |
i do too....its like talking to a baby that they'll understand that you are not angry to them and its a way to get you closer to them;)
|
i dont do that....come on puppy...com...on!
|
I don't think most people who do that don't really intend to distort their voices, it so happened that subconciously they tend to follow the youngsters voice.
|
Of course I do that. LOL
I think maybe we do it instinctively as that change of voice is indicative of love and encouragement. |
Well, I do that as well and I think the kids and I can relate each other more that way.
|
but it's not advicable to talk to them that way as they grow older. they might think that, that is the correct manner of speaking...
|
:blush: Yup guilty!!! I'm sure it annoys the hell out of them (kids & pets) Ryan is 2 and I still do it, something tells me I'll still be doing it when he's 20 and taller than me! ::-|
