Kids are impatient. When they want something, they want it now! Which often translates into interrupting a parent’s conversation or activity.
Many parents tell me they have tried to get their kids to not interrupt. Take a look at some of the methods they’ve used. Do any of these describe you?
The parent will scold… “Stop interrupting me! Can’t you see I’m talking here?”
The parent takes a gentle approach… “Please don’t interrupt me. I’ll be finished in a minute.”
The parent makes excuses…”Oh, she doesn’t mean to be rude. She’s having a bad day.”
