How to speak to your child so they can finally hear you!

April 5th, 2010

Are you stuck in the cycle of nagging and complaining to your child, yet you feel like it doesn’t work. You are right! If your child is not hearing what you are saying, you need to rethink how you are communicating.

Here are a few common mistakes parents make:

  • Saying the same thing over and over, and still expecting something different (yes, it is the definition of insanity),
  • Yelling, and seeing results, for a bit
  • Threatening with hitting
  • Doing nothing until it gets out of control, then getting really angry

If you want different results, then you have to do something different. Setting boundaries, being clear of consequences, and following through will work- only if you treat your child with the respect you desire that they show you!
