Advice History
Interrupting
"The Pocket Parent" authors Gail Reichlin and Caroline Winkler suggest developing a secret code with your child regarding interruptions. If your child absolutely needs to get your attention while you are mid-conversation with someone else, let her know to tap her nose, pull her ear, or something similar as a sign and you will respond with the same gesture to let her know you have seen she needs your attention and you will respond once your conversation has ended. Just know that even this tiny bit of patience can only last so long with a toddler and she may interrupt if your conversation goes longer than she can handle.
