I wanted to share with you the message I sent my newsletter this morning 🔽
Are you trying to teach your child not to interrupt?
From my experience here's where I may start ...
FirI would make sure I'm meeting their needs and managing their wants.
And I personally think playtime with your kids is part of their needs.
It's about building up the foundation of that all-so-critical connection 💛
Since I believe this is the basis of your calm leadership.
Once that is in check here is how I may approach this:
For kids three and older I may use the BratBusters Behaviour Board.
Where their rule is no interrupting and if they do there's a consequence.
Of course clarifying that if they truly need something they can interrupt.
Here’s the thing though …
Oftentimes kids don’t even realize they are interrupting as it has become a habit.
So I may let them know that if they do interrupt I’d have a signal.
This could be simply touching my nose 👃
Then if they continue to interrupt after that, there would be a consequence.
No nagging or lecturing about the behaviour itself.
Just simply having a consequence which could be a two-minute chore ...
And then letting it go.
Because I believe where you put your energy and focus is what grows as a parent.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend ☀
