Q: When kids are very young, they can do this up to 10 times an hour. What are they doing?
A: Saying Mom, mom, maaaawm, mommy, mom, ma. Happy Mother’s Day!
That’s right. Last Monday, I counted how many times my kids said “mom.” I had a notepad and pencil on the kitchen counter, and I tallied it. One hundred and five “moms” in one day. That means, on average, they say “mom” every 6.3 minutes of the time they are awake. I also tracked the length of time between each “mom.” The longest stretch was 20 minutes (screen time). The shortest was one minute.
