Q: My 4-year-old daughter has a bad habit
of interrupting people when they are talking. Sometimes it seems as
if she waits for someone to start talking just so she can get in the
middle. We do include her in many conversations, so it's not like
she can't get a word in at all. Now her teacher at preschool told
me that she has been interrupting in the middle of class. For example,
when the teacher is telling the class what activity they will be doing,
she is constantly speaking at the same time, asking if they can do
what she wants to do. I need some advice on how to handle this. When
she interrupts her father and I, we tell her to wait her turn and
not interrupt. I am at a standstill of what to do next. I don't want
her to be in trouble at school everyday - she is very intelligent
and loves to go. I don't want to change that. ©2002 The pocketparent.com. All rights reserved.
