[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This particular 5 yr old sounds very insecure. If he asked "but MY picture is better, right?" I would physically touch his arm or head and say, "It's not a contest." If he interrupted when I began reading to my (quiet) children, the very first time I would put a hand on him, look him in the eyes, and say, "You're welcome to listen, but if you're going to talk I'm going to have to ask you to leave the room. This is a reading time, not a talking time." Then if he spoke again, I'd close the book, stand up, and calmly lead him to the door and say "I told you this was a quiet time. Since you want to talk, why don't you go find your mom/Larla and talk with them since you can't stay here now that you talked." [/quote] +1!![/quote]
