My children are 7, 5, and 3-years-old. They love to talk a lot and talk
off track whenever they are with a family member they haven't seen in a long
time. We are going to be spending the Christmas holiday with family members.
How do I get them to talk less and sensibly? – Bukola
A: Tell your children that you love that they are outspoken, but explain
that adults don't like the bad habit of talking too much. You can try
role-playing with them by pretending you're the child with the bad manner of
talking too much. Encourage them to evaluate the behavior. Practice with them
several times before your trip to help them build their emotional intelligence
to talk less, listen more and ask more. And by so doing, you will help them a
good impression.
