Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Private speech, also known as self-talk or inner speech, typically peaks around age 5 to 7 years. This is when children are engaging in more complex and challenging tasks and use private speech to help regulate their behavior and thoughts. By age 9 to 11, most children have internalized their private speech and no longer rely on it as heavily as they did in early childhood.
