Interrupts
The benefit of this bonding exercise is that it can protect your child from thinking their behavior is a negative, defining aspect of who they are. If they can see the triggers for interrupting as situational they can be more motivated to learn to set goals for how to handle those situations. This can protect them from a negative self image and empower them to set goals to act differently.
Question 1 of 5
In what situation does your child most often interrupt others?
Why this matters
Focusing on a specific problem rather than a global problem may reduce learned helplessness, which is a risk factor for depression. Targeting the situation makes it easier to teach a skill.
