RE: A Person's A Person, No Matter How Small! -- Children Should be Seen AND Heard!

Right. I thought of mentioning that in the article, but I figured it was implied. By being a part of adult conversation the child will gently learn the rules that everybody is following. They won't be told that they need to be quite because they are just a child, but rather that everybody gets a turn and everybody has to be patient and wait until the other person is finished.
Of course, I would be forgiving if sometimes they just can't wait ... because I still get myself in a bit of trouble sometimes when I'm just bursting with new information to share that just popped in my head ... and it's SOO hard not to interrupt. I'm afraid that I will lose the moment.
So if it's hard for me as an adult, I know it would be hard for an excited child to have to wait a long time.

Hehe, yes, my hubby do the same thing. He sometimes interrupts while someone else is still speaking. You would not be rigid with a child. Thank you for your reply.
