This is a great suggestion.Gretchenhttp://www.asimpleprairielife.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785239994537240122.post-16039545860880324102009-04-27T13:40:00.000-04:002009-04-27T13:40:00.000-04:00At 18 mos, I would go ahead and teach the rule, bu...At 18 mos, I would go ahead and teach the rule, but expect that you'll be interrupting your guest to re-teach her the rule each time. Once she gets the rule (by age 2 I would expect), then you can expect her to use the interrupt rule, but you'll be responding to her immediately, not making her wait at all. My babies have just turned 4 and I now I can make them wait a little bit. A year ago, they couldn't have.Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10657460163379486396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785239994537240122.post-9384358799565410642009-04-27T13:13:00.000-04:002009-04-27T13:13:00.000-04:00I've always believed in requiring a child to inter...I've always believed in requiring a child to interrupt politely and this is an excellent method. I particularly like that you can acknowledge the "interruptee's" presence silently, thus curbing impatience before it takes over.<br /><br />Quick question from a novice mom: my one child is now 18 months old and is just at the very early stages of comprehending rules. At what age do you begin utilizing this and other etiquette-type training? I want to keep my expectations age-appropriate, but I also don't want to wait too long and then have to undo behaviors. If you have any suggestions, then I thank you.CKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785239994537240122.post-44713576697733997762009-04-27T02:16:00.000-04:002009-04-27T02:16:00.000-04:00What a great pictorial lesson!
