Re: teaching your child to be part of a conversation without interrupting????????/

I use the visual prompt of putting my finger to my ear. I also stop talking

immediately if he interrupts and look away.

[ ] teaching your child to be part of a conversation without

interrupting????????/

I have problems with my son interrupting a conversation. Is there away you

can teach your son and yourself to let him to be a part of a conversation

instead of him interrupting?

Thanks,

Use a gesture cue (e.g. finger in a certain position) and teach him

to wait until the gesture is commenced to start talking.

have him identify or label instances of you being busy (and not

available) sometimes- kids don't get that they are interuppting

anything. (how many seconds of a pause should there be before he

starts)

teach him to tap you to get attention instead of verbally

interuppting so it's not so offensive.

Use cue cards- text or symbol.

PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE in simulated situations and praise his

efforts
