To have good manner, we must start it from the beginning age,because it will dedicated more longer to our life. The main person who can handle this beginning start are parents or the elder people.This article is specially for parents to teach a good behavior for their children. Children need to be understanded while they are interrupting. And this article will lead you to the solution. ^^

Why It Happens?

A youngster's natural exuberance, short attention span, single-mindedness and overhelming desire to express himself all add up to a common childhood failing: He Interrupts. The mere sight of you engrossed in conversation, either in person or on the phone, will seem to galvanize your attention-hungry child. Though he may have been tongue-tied a few minutes earlier, now he has a dozen things he wants you to hear or see. You can expect condition to be at its height when your toddler is learning to talk, but it may continue well beyond school age.

What to Do?

Try to anticipate and side-step the problem before it occurs. If you expect visitors or a long phone call when your little one is around, get him started on some activity beforehand. For conversations that you cannot anticipate, keep a busy bag of toys handy for him to dip into; if the toys are used only on such occasions, they may seem more special. In either case, tell the child that you are going to be busy for a little while and that it is his job to play quietly. If you can allow your youngster to be included when you have a visitor, tell him that you and your guest will stop every so often to see how he is getting along. Compliment him on his cooperation each time and ask if he has questions to ask or anything to tell you. If he forgets and interrupts, correct him firmly but pleasantly, in a tone that does not sound like rejection. If he continues to interrupt, you might use a time-out to dicipline him; at the same time, ask yourself if perhaps your visit has gone on too long. When the guest has gone, tell your child that you appreciate his efforts.


As always, you have to provide a good model. Try not to allow interruptions when he is involved in a social exchange. If someone calls during storytime, for instance, tell the caller, "I'm sorry but I cannot talk now, we're in the middle of the bedtime story." It is important for children to see that the same rules apply to adults.



Wish that you can teaching good behavior to your children or any child around you. ^^
