When should I do it:
When a student has a strong desire to share things with you but doesn’t know how to wait to share
When a student interrupts a lot, asks questions at inappropriate times, is impatient, or has trouble delaying gratification
When a student is agitated, angry, and wants to stop everything to resolve their personal issues
