How old is a child to play jokes on adults?

I believe that parents must have encountered this situation: when adults are talking, children will always interrupt our speech from time to time. Sometimes adults may think that children are cute, but more often, adults will think that children are impolite and start to be impatient with them.

In fact, it is a self-centered thinking phenomenon that children like to interrupt. When children are 2 -7 years old, they can only understand things from their own standpoint and viewpoint, but not from the standpoint and viewpoint of others. Egocentrism is an inevitable stage in the development of children's early self-awareness.

Children like to interrupt, which may be these three reasons.

1. I'm curious and want to solve the problem quickly.

Curiosity is a normal phenomenon in children's growth stage. For example, when children find something they don't understand while playing with toys, they will ask their parents regardless of the occasion and can't wait to solve their doubts.

2. I don't understand the conversation and want to show myself.

When adults talk, they will always involve some problems of children. At this time, if the child hears it and feels that the topic said by the adults resonates with him, he will want to join the discussion of the adults and express his thoughts.

3. I hope parents will pay attention to themselves

Children always want their parents to pay attention to themselves. If adults talk for a long time, children will think that their parents have forgotten themselves. At this time, they will try their best to attract their parents' attention. He may interrupt or make some other sounds, so that the attention of adults can be transferred to him.

Parents do this to cultivate their children's good habits.

1. Help children according to the situation.

If the child wants us to help him solve the problem, we should help the child according to the occasion. If we just chat, we can help the child solve the problem first, tell him that the adults are talking, and don't bother him often. If we are talking about important things, we should tell our children that their parents are talking about important things, and let them think about ways to solve the problems first, and then help them solve them after our problems are solved.

2. Give children a chance to show themselves.

When a child wants to join an adult's speech, we should give him a chance to express his ideas. When he has finished, tell the child that we don't want this kind of thing to happen often, because it is very impolite and disrespectful for you to suddenly interrupt an adult's speech. If you want to say something later, you can wait until the adults have finished.

3. Always pay attention to the child's status

Children sometimes feel insecure and hope their parents will always pay attention to themselves. If parents talk too long, they will think that their parents are not paying attention to him, which will make him very uneasy, so they will use their own methods to attract the attention of adults. Parents must give their children more care and care at ordinary times, and don't often leave their children alone.
