Anyone have any strategies or tips of how I can help my son reign in the non stop talking?
It's causing issues in a few ways:
*online gaming chat with his cousins has caused upset as he doesn't let them get a word in
*my partners son (6 months younger) has recently snapped at him to shut up and let him talk, and has had to walk away from him a few times because he won't stop bossing him. He is happy to do lego on his own and entertain himself but my son strops if he does.
*he will ask people if they watched him do something and despite being told repeatedly yes I did he will carry on telling in detail what he just did
*he will talk over people like adults having conversations, answer questions not directed at him. We missed our daughters first words several times because he won't stop talking.
*he talks non stop when gaming and is very bossy so generally people don't want to do 2 player games with him
*generally when we deal with the behaviour he explodes that no one let's him talk and everyone else is at fault and it's not fair etc I have to admit sometimes I've been so annoyed with the backchat and him not listening etc I've had to walk away to give myself a moment to calm down.
I know a few parents have dealt with non stop talkers. What works for you?
