I'm hoping for some ideas on what to do about the "incessant chatter and nonsense questions" from my kids. Both certainly have attachment issues, likely not RAD.

We have sibs, 11 and 2 placed with us a few months ago and both keep up the incessant chatter. Both use it to interrupt others. The real challenge is that the 11 year old gets mad at the things her little brother says and things escalate from there.

I haven't found any clear guidance yet, should I be working on the chatter (especially with the older one, she is also poorly socialized) or let things take care of themselves as attachment improves?

We are in family therapy, but the chatter issue just clicked for me as I re-read "Parenting the Hurt Child" and my therapist is out on medical leave.


Thanks
