I think that might be part of the problem, I respect my clients enough to try to explain things to them in terms they'll understand, but some of them just look at me like I'm crazy or I don't know what I'm talking about when I'm explaining simple user interaction concepts. It gets frustrating.

Then it must be a trust issue; some of them don't trust you for some reason. There must be a reason, try to figure out what it is so that you can resolve it.

Don't explain it, show them.

If they are simple user interaction concepts, then presumably there are examples you can show them. Often that gives them an anchor point where you can discuss things you'd like to change about that specific example.
