This may be a totally unneccesary concern--but my daughter has been demonstrating an "odd" behavior for approx. 1 year. She will make a comment, or ask a question. and immediately following it, she will repeat the last few words in a whisper that is barely noticable. She doesn't even appear to realize she is doing it. I have brought it up to her in the past--without making too big a deal of it, to see what she would say. At first she seemed confused by my question, but then, became upset and asked me if it meant she was "crazy". She has told me that she can't stop it. She is an active, happy kid, with lots of friends. She makes excellent grades and has a calm and stable home life. Do you think I need to worry about this, or just wait for her to outgrow it, like she did when I thought she was starting to be a nailbiter? I try to be a relaxed Mom and not sweat the small stuff, but I don't want to minimize a real problem, either. Thank you.
