Getting Young Children to Listen

Christine B. shared how she gets her four year old to listen. “I used to repeat myself five times to no avail. Now I simply get my daughter’s attention and make my request. After I have spoken to my daughter, I ask her if she heard me. Then I ask her, ‘What did I say?’ Finally, I tell her to do what I asked. She happily does as I have asked. Knowing that she is able to help ‘Mommy’ has been a great confidence-builder.”
