I knew it was good for me to talk to myself! YES!
Science now discovers that talking to yourself is not only good.... it is essential for a sound and disciplined mind and life.
Read or listen to the NPR report - "Old-Fashioned Play Builds Serious Skills".
"Permitting and encouraging children to be verbally active — to speak to themselves while engaged in challenging tasks — fosters concentration, effort, problem-solving, and task success." — Alix Spiegel
Damn.... no wonder all these adults I work with can't stay concentrated in a dialogue for more than a minute.... TOYS actually ruins your brain!
Damn that consumeristic Mickey Mouse pig!
Like my 4 year old nephew said so succinctly to me once when I pointed out to him the cute giant cartoonish moosehead hanging on the wall (for whatever the hell reason) while I was walking him to his "Sunday School" class in church ----- "I hate him".
(good call Joe)
