Do not over-indulge a talkative child. In a kind but firm way tell her
that you have some important work to do or that you must see Miss
Belmont before school begins. If she persists in talking with you after
school, answer her questions politely but hurriedly, while you put on
your wraps and say as you go out of the room, “I have to leave now. Are
you ready to go home?”
