On The Telephone…
While on the phone and there
is nothing you can do to stop your child interrupting
the call while he is demanding your attention.
Tell your child interrupting
is not good manners; then explain you do not want to be
interrupted when you are on the telephone.
A way to prevent this
problem is to practice on two pretend telephones, one
for you and one for your child this will teach your
child not to interrupt while you are on the phone.
Tell your child “this is how
I talk on the phone and this is how you play while I am
on the phone”.
You then swap roles by your
child being on the phone and you playing without
interrupting, while he is on the phone.
This will show your child
what to do instead of interrupting you while on the
phone.
When Visitors Call By….
Visitors have called in for
a cupper and a chat, your child starts interrupting your
conversation to be noticed and have your attention,
simply say to your child, “I am talking to Margret and
John”. But say no more.
You need to be firm or the
interrupting is likely to continue.
Try Praise…
While you have visitors,
occasionally give your child some attention praise your
child for playing nicely and not interrupting, this
means your child will less want to barge into your
conversation.
When your visitors are gone
praise your child for their great behavior while the
visitors were there, letting your child know how proud
of him you are for not interrupting as often.
