Anybody else's kid unable to maintain an inside voice?

OMG. My child is so loud! I spent the day with her today and I'm pretty sure I'm half deaf.

Shhh does not work. I can get her to whisper for like two seconds but then she's back to yelling. She's 22 months old.

Hallllllp. Or at least tell me I'm not alone.

I'd pretend I couldn't hear what was being said. Just keep working at it. I think most children go through this phase.

DS is 6 and talks very loudly most of the time. We did have his hearing checked at 4 and it's fine. He is capable of talking quieter, but his natural volume is loud.

I don't think they possess inside voices.

Oh man. Well, at least I'm not alone. lol.

I totally deserve this because I always said I'm "voluminally challenged", as in I get loud and don't realize it. She keeps getting all of my worst traits.

Mine can't either. I either whisper back at her. Sometimes I tell her I can't hear her when she yells and that helps. I have also noticed that she gets louder when she is tired.
