alleryA teacher should treat children's private speech as something to:
AStop the moment it starts
BLimit to break time
CCorrect for grammar
DAllow, not interrupt
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Allow, not interrupt
1. Private speech helps children guide their own behaviour and attention.
2. It is very important at early ages.
3. So it should not be interrupted or limited by parental control.
4. Stopping it, limiting it or correcting it would defeat its purpose.
**Why not the others:** Stopping private speech, limiting it to break time and correcting its grammar all interfere with a self-regulating tool.
