Underdeveloped conversation skills?
Answer:
There is some evidence that going to preschool or interacting with other children at an early age does increase one's social skills naturally as they get older. This is prababley becase a childs brain at the age of 3 to 5 is so impressionable that having good connections with other children builds a child's confidence in there social abilities and this sence of social mastery is in a sense hardwired into there brains. Children who don't have very good social experiences at a young age are more likely not to be as sociable, nor are kids who had little interaction with other children at that age. Even with this said that doesn't mean that you can't develop good social skills now, even if you didn't have them before. I for one felt completely socially innept until about two years ago when I wen't to college. I worked on my social skills, learned from my mistakes and now I am very skilled at conversation, communication, and obeying general social rules. If you need any pointers just let me know:)
It has nothing to do with whether you were in preschool or not.
You just have different personalities.
Haha, sounds like you're worried about your talkativeness compared to your sister.. don't worry!!
Children have natural language-abilities built into them, the key is developing language, but talkativeness is more related to personality than young exposure.
There are some excellent examples of this. Some famous authors and public speakers were antisocial in public, but have still made great pieces of writing and lectures. As a personal example, my grandfather grew up in Europe during WWII, and didn't learn how to speak until he was 3 years old, but now he is one of the most sociable, articulate people that I know, and sometimes gives radio lectures.
I think that at the age most toddlers go to preschool is a time that is very important for learning social skills, though I probably wouldn't put my children in a full time (versus part time) preschool situation if I could avoid it. I think it is important for children that age to be around other children their age, but I believe that a situation that leaves them with other children for 7-9 hours could be overstimulation.
Growing up I went to preschool but did not attened any school after that. I was a very shy child growing up, but as I hit middle school I became much less shy.
