Children don't just listen; we have to teach them how to listen, and for every child, that looks different. In today's episode, I give the listening do's and don'ts.
What we cover on how to get your kids to listen:
Do get ahead of it. Try to anticipate what your child might struggle with, and set up a framework before the activity.
Don't give multiple reminders.
Do attach an action to your direction.
Do take short breaks to help with emotional regulation
What does discipline mean?
Go easy on yourself. If you didn't follow through one day, it's OK!
Gaining cooperation isn't always easy, but the more we can help kids when they're younger, the easier it gets as they get older.
