Ever since my son has learned to talk, you can not get him to stay quiet. But more recently its becoming more of an issue. He interrupt adults in conversations, he shouts to be heard, and I have to talk over him just to be heard. I know he's learning more and more each day but how do I get him to learn that its respectful to just be quiet. Anybody with a little chatterbox that can't shutup? LOL!

What works for me is contact. I've explained to my 3 year old that if mommy is talking and she wants to say something she needs to come and touch my arm. I then know she needs my attention and can listen to the basic question. If its something like going to the toilet I can act, but if its something trivial, then I can explain that I will help her when I've finished talking. Seems to work for us.

My daughter talks non-stop! If she is interrupting, I tell her that she has to be patient while mommy is talking and wait her turn. I also explain that interrupting is rude/bad manners. If she continues, I walk away into another room to talk. She also gets reminded regularly that Moms are the bosses, NOT kids. :-)

Yes my three yr old daughter talks herself to sleep my 8 yr old son talks alot too. they both spoke at a very early age. I have tried it all. it eventually gets better or you just figure out what is important and tune out the rest I am still learning that one. I have ADHD and as a mother i instinctually hear everything..... I have found that placing a finger on their mouths or whispering to them to shhhhh they do drop the volume some.. Good luck. I have a middle son seven who is very quiet, but as a baby and toddler he was very vocal .

yes, my daughter is a chatterbox too! Lot's of things to say and ask!! I have to tell her to wait when I am having a conversation with someone. Then when i give her a turn to talk, all she wanted was attention! Sometimes she even asked me to be quiet, so that she can talk, and hear herself talks! sigh...

Did you ever play the game at camp that only let the person holding the stick do the talking? Or whatever the magic item might be. The key is to really pay attention while he has the stick and not to when he doesn't. He'll figure it out quick.
