INTERRUPTING Social Skills Lesson, December 14, 2012

What is interrupting?

When you interrupt someone, you talk when they are talking.

It can be very rude to interrupt someone because they may forget what they are trying to tell you.

How can you interrupt politely?

1. Wait 2. Say, “Excuse Me” 3. Say what you want to say

What if the person cannot be interrupted? If you say “excuse me” and the person

says, “not right now” or “please wait,” then you need to wait to say what you want to say.

Let’s practice!
