Helping Kids Listen Better: The Big-Hearted Way
When kids ignore us, it can feel personal. Disrespectful. Triggering.
But what if “not listening” isn’t a behavior problem at all?
In this episode, Dr. Cathryn explains why toddlers and preschoolers struggle with cooperation, what’s really happening in their developing brains, and why yelling may work in the moment—but backfires long-term.
You’ll learn how to help your child cooperate without threats, bribes, or power struggles, using big-hearted strategies that help kids feel seen, safe, and more willing to listen.
Because when kids aren’t listening, they’re not being difficult—they’re developing.
