Excuse yourself from the conversation and put your child in time out. But tell him why he's there. He'll get the point when he's been in time out a few times when he's interrupted you a couple times. Time out should be the same time as his age. 5mins since he's 5. Good luck.

tell them in a firm voice to stop and that they will get their turn to speak be consistent and persistent

Tell them firmly not to interrupt, then continue your conversation ignoring any further interruptions. They will soon learn it's not worth the effort. Make them wait, with no acknowledgement from you that they even spoke, until you have finished your conversation. Obviously don't make your convo any longer than is necessary. Tell the child you will talk to them when you have finished. be firm, consistent and don't expect giant steps straight away!!

My wife and I raised 6 and the problem was solved the same with all of them. You must stop and let them talk but each time they speak INTERRUPT them. Do this at a time you are NOT angry or frustrated with them. Make it a point each time to repeat the process at least twice. Children are people to and they learn very quick. They will love you all the more when they are grown for taking the time to teach them with patience and love. Good luck with the suggestion and God Bless.

We us this model for changing our kids behavior:1. Explain the problem behavior2. Describe what you'd like them to do3. Model it in a role reversal practice4. Practice it5. Practice it6. Practice it.7. Remind them before a situation when they'll likely regressTalk about it during a quiet time. Tell him or her you want him/her to grow up to be a polite person. One of things polite people do is to wait until the other person is done talking before speaking. This shows that you respect the other person enough to allow them to talk. Also, explain to your child that when you are talking with someone or on the phone and he needs your attention to please touch you on the arm (or raise his hand or hold up a sign you've made or...)and wait patiently. Show him what you mean by switching roles. Let him be the mom who's talking and you be the child. Then have him practice doing waiting. Practice this a couple times a day for a few weeks.Also try to be aware of your own habits. I've noticed that I have a tendency to interrupt and I work on that.Remember that 5-year olds have lots to say and don't realize they have years to tell you.
