[quote=Anonymous]How old are your kids? If older than 3-4, this is an issue that you need to work on with them. You need to get them to try to solve their own problem first before coming to you. “Where’s my Lego Batman?” “Where have you already looked?” “Can I have a snack?” “Sure. Help yourself. You know you don’t need to ask to take something from the snack shelf.” “But I want a grilled cheese.” “Grilled cheese is a lunch. We will eat lunch in about an hour. I’ll make grilled cheese then. In the meantime, please grab something from the snack shelf to tide you over.” “I’m BORED. There’s nothing TO DO.” “I have lots of things to do. Let me give you a cup of warm soapy water and a rag and you can clean the stair railings. I bet your rag will be really dirty after that!” It works. Give your kids more agency and they will interrupt less![/quote]
