Research has shown that children tend to use private speech more often when they are faced with tasks that are appropriately challenging but they are not entirely sure how to proceed. This is because private speech helps them regulate their own thinking and behavior as they work through the task. Private speech also helps children to organize their thoughts and plan their actions.
