Does your child interrupt when others are talking?
Do they jump in with Guess what?!
Or finish sentences before someone is done?
Little ones often have big thoughts...
and it's hard to wait.
It's a warm, sunny day at the Cozy Nook, and Elle has a wonderful story to share.
Her friends gather close.
She begins...
But before she can finish-
Guess what?! Hop bursts in.
Again and again, he interrupts.
He finishes her sentences.
He jumps ahead in the story.
Slowly... Elle's voice gets quieter.
Until she stops talking altogether.
Milo turns a sad Soft Blue.
The Cozy Nook doesn't feel cozy when a friend feels unheard.
Luckily, Slow-Mo brings a gentle tool - the Talking Stick.When you hold the stick, it's your turn to speak.
And when you don't... you listen.
Hop holds his thought bubble tight.
It wiggles.
It bounces.
But he waits.
When the stick reaches him...
He shares.
And this time-
everyone listens.
Soon the friends discover something important:
Waiting is hard...
But listening is how we show
that every voice matters.
