I know I saw a thread last month about kids who narrate their every action, but I don't remember the name of it.

But can or should anything be done about it? I have a four year old dcg who does this, but its to the point where she won't go through with the action if I don't validate each announcement.

I'm going to read a book. (Okay, good idea)
I'm going to read xx book. (Okay)
Im going to sit here (Silence)
I'm going to sit here, I'm going to sit here, imgoingtosithere x infinity til I respond

Or

Am I calendar helper (yes that's your job this week)
Are we gonna do calendar? (Yes at circle time)
And I'm the calendar helper? (Yep)
When we do calendar, I'm gonna be the calendar helper (silence)
Right Ms ---? Right? I'm the calendar helper right??

Its a little more annoying than I'm comfortable with, and I'd like to curb it. I know she likes to know what's going on, and I can say I'm good about explaining things to kids beforehand, but*that doesn't make a whole lot of difference with this DCG. Any ideas on how I can modify this behavior? Thanks.
