How to Get Kids to (REALLY) Listen: 7 Steps for Success – Positive Parenting Solutions

December 5, 2020 By i-ville Leave a Comment

It can be very frustrating when your child won’t listen. Sometimes when your child disobeys, it’s just your child’s way of gleaning a small amount of power where they can get it. To offset this natural need for power, start by levelling with your child and try to understand their perspective. Positive reinforcement and gentle physical touch can go a long way in making your child feel heard. Expressing gratitude to your child in advance for their positive behavior can make your child understand the positive expectations of them, instead of focusing on the negative behavior you don’t wish to see.
