One-Step Trick to Stop Your Kids from Interrupting You

How many times have you been chatting with a friend only to be interrupted by your kid telling you that they saw a dog or about a car that just drove past? Constantly being interrupted can be frustrating and if done in public can be quite embarrassing at times.

Mum  and blogger, Kate from An Everyday Story has the one-step trick to finally stop your kids from interrupting you.

Kate writes about her good friend and her son who patiently waited to be heard instead of interrupting his chatting mum. Kate explains: “I was chatting with her [her friend] one day when her (then three-year-old) son wanted to say something. Instead of interrupting though, he simply placed his hand on her wrist and waited. My friend placed her hand over his to acknowledge him and we continued chatting. After she had finished what she was saying, she turned to him.”

After learning this technique from her friend, Kate and her husband decided to implement it on their own child and according to Kate, the interrupting has all but stopped. We couldn’t be happier for them!

Who knew this one simple and gentle step could be so effective and respectful?
