Interruption

Aman, I have renewed the car insurance.

Great Anju, I am done with our joint policy and

Mamma, where is my bat. My bat my bat….Rakshit kept singing the song my bat unless Anju found his bat from his shelf.

Anju, you mentioned your cousin visit to city, when was it?

It’s next month second week Aman!

Okay, so lets plan outing on long weekend…

Papa, why don’t you ball and I bat.

Yes Rakshit, first let me finish…

Papa, please come come…..

Aman couldn’t book the tickets neither was able to complete his sentence and Anju’s look made it clear that unless they listened to Rakshit, he will keep on interrupting in conversations.

This kind of scenario is common in family, where children interrupt in daily or important conversations. Our ninth parenting topic is Interruption, and reasons behind it.

Parents talk and immediately child interrupts from no where and the whole flow of conversation fazes away. Question is how to deal with such situations.

Firstly, make kids understand that these are elderly conversations and their participation is not required. Doing so you are ensuring their views are not needed and they may do something more important be it art & craft, playing with siblings or building blocks.

Secondly, make them understand that for any reason they need to ask or inform you in middle of conversation, use the word excuse me and wait till they count 1 to 10. Yes I say 10 because kids are smarter and count in the speed of bullet train.

Thirdly, involve your kids in loop of conversation if required, ask them their views before hand and later you take your decisions. For example parents can ask them holiday place either beach/hills, then plan your holiday according to their choice.

In this manner both are on happy note.

There is also other side of interruptions, but that we will look in coming posts in this month.
