I don’t know about you but for myself and alot of people I know, we were raised being told that interrupting was rude.

So it’s understandable that we as parents get frustrated every time their child bursts into the middle of their conversation to ask why puppies and cats don’t get along while waving a coloring sheet of a puppy and cat snuggling in your face.

It’s a bit rude (and a bit annoying).

And kids do it alot.

You might have attempted to correct this by telling them “stop interrupting” and unsurprisingly that doesn’t work.

Not to mention they take your break in conversation to tell them to “stop interrupting” as a green light to continue interrupting and squeeze in whatever it is they wanted to tell you.

I mean, might as well while they’ve got your attention anyway.

The good news is children don’t do this to be rude on purpose, or to be disrespectful.

There are certain skills that they need to build and strengthen to recognize that they’re interrupting and then further keep themselves from doing so.

This can be especially difficult for some children, especially if it’s something they’re super excited about.

That’s why in this week’s Mudroom I’m going to go over:
