[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a niece like this (she's fine now). Do adults a favor and shoo her away from adult conversations. My niece would always interject and my sister let it happen. [/quote] THIS. It’s not cute. It’s not charming. It’s annoying as hell. [/quote] NOT this. First, kids don’t appreciate that behavior, either. They don’t need to have her inflicted on them and the social consequences for her will be negative. Secondly, hanging around adults will give her the benefit of seeing them model good conversational habits and help her understand she’s not brilliant. Most importantly, she will learn when you teach her. As Pp indicated, she needs to have someone sit her down and explain why her behavior is rude and is unacceptable. Give her reminders when necessary to break the habit, and if she deliberately persists, give her consequences to disincentivize the behavior and help her remember not to be so rude. [/quote]
