My kids loves to interrupt! Usually it’s about something completely unrelated to whatever is being discussed, too. What I try to teach my children is that if they have something they want to say, they need to say, “Excuse me, Mommy,” and wait patiently for me to acknowledge them. Does it always work? Sometimes. Other times, they’ll say it over and over until I respond, but at least they get the idea….they’ve learned to say “Excuse me.” It just takes practice and patience, I suppose!
This is literally the BEST advice I have ever received and it works. My son’s father was hanging out with Bruce Willis and Demi’s old nanny (Miss Nanette, I believe) just one week ago in Montana and she told him to do the following:
When Ethan (4yrs old) interrupts in the middle of his parents’ conversation (and BTW he does this often….basically whenever we talk…you know the deal), he now puts his hand gently on his parent’s leg to signify that he wants to speak. The parent then puts his/her hand on top of his to acknowledge him (which comforts him because he gets some attention from it). When the conversation is over, the parent then addresses Ethan.
It has been a week with his father and now my son is with me and it works very well. Sometimes, when my son is far and sort of yells out to me, I do have to remind him to “interrupt politely.” I also ask him randomly what the polite way to interrupt him and when he answers correctly, he gets praise etc.
Try it! Tell me what you think!
