[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With a ten year old you should be hovering nearby in most potential situations where he might not be able to pick on the cues of the person he's talking to so that you can shut it down for him when appropriate. Then later you can revisit the event with him, point out how you were able to tell the adult was ready for him to stop talking, and help him learn how he can read those cues too. Point out that while some adults might enjoy a conversation with him on some topics, others will have a limited patience for that and tell him you know he does not want to be rude to anyone. Hopefully in the next few years you can help him learn to read the cues himself before he is at an age where he is more often not with you when these situations arise.[/quote] I'm 16:04 and 16:14 and this sounds like just the right approach to me.
