[quote=Anonymous]I recall 5 years old as an actually really awesome age. You say his parents are not inattentive, but where are they when he is constantly jumping in your face while you are reading to your child or talking to your child about child's picture? It can be draining to be consistent with discipline, but correcting 50% of the time is essentially no better than correcting 0% of the time. 5 year olds are very verbal, and I remember having to teach my kids not to interrupt conversations and wait their turn. This lesson had to be reinforced many, many times, but it did sink in.  I would not allow my child to interrupt the conversation, but would then happily "give them the floor" as a reward for waiting their turn to speak.
OP your kids are at a crucial stage. See this glimpse into the future as a cautionary tale. This is what awaits you if you are not consistent with your children as to expectation for appropriate behavior. Nip it in the bud now, and I think you will really enjoy your kids when they are 5![/quote]
