Not Listening: Maybe They Need Their Hearing Checked

Very calmly, you ask your child to do something but nothing happens. You repeat the request (giving him the benefit of the doubt) thinking maybe he didn’t hear you. Then, you repeat it again. Still no action.

The “repeat – remind – repeat – remind” cycle only leads to one thing…a blow-up by you.

Does this sound familiar? If it does, you’re not alone. In working with thousands of parents over the years, “not listening” is the #1 misbehavior I hear. Not listening is a power struggle and if left unaddressed, can escalate to back talk, tantrums and even defiance.

Why Don’t They Listen?

Why don’t kids listen the first time? Why do we have to repeat ourselves over and over again and eventually raise our voices?

Children of all ages have a need for power and not listening is one way in which they are trying to “tell” you they need more control and decision making ability in their lives. That doesn’t mean the kids get to call all the shots. We’ll teach you how to give them power but within your boundaries. The result will be they WILL listen to you and the repeat – remind – repeat – remind will come to an end.
