Interrupting/Erupting submitted by beeniepie on June 24, 2014, 1:59pm This is a great book for kids to read on the topic of interrupting. The author does an excellent job describing what it must feel like for a child when they want to talk despite it not being their turn. Their words push against their teeth then erupt like a volcano. Near the end of the book, the main character, Simon, experiences first hand how he feels when his classmates interrupt him. After describing his anger and hurt with his mother, Simon's mom explains to Simon that she feels the same way (angry/hurt) when Simon interrupts her. Simon's mom then suggests that Simon bite his teeth together and blow his words out through his nose. My preschooler and I tried this technique out, and I was not thrilled with the horse-sounding snort that he made. I guess sounding impatient is slightly better than interrupting, but I wish the book made a quieter suggestion.
