[quote=Anonymous]I have a neighbor I cannot have a conversation with because her 4-year-old daughter continually interrupts and the neighbor indulges it. For instance, the grown-ups will be talking and the 4-year-old will walk up and start showing their mom something (like a rock) and mom stops the conversation to discuss the rock. Or the 4-year-old will ask me a totally unrelated question (have you ever held a frog?) and the mom stops and waits for me to answer/converse with the child. This happens every time we try to speak and I find it extremely frustrating as it entirely derails our conversation. I raised two kids and always told them to wait until grownups were done talking, unless it was an emergency like someone was hurt. Do you let your child interrupt adult conversation? How do you redirect them? Any advice for me when it happens with someone else's kid? [/quote]
