Telling kids to listen...usually does not help get them to listen to you more. Listening is a skill, and a lot of things can get in the way of kids being able to flex their listening muscles. If you're struggling with your child not following through with your instructions, it may be helpful to pause and think about what might be getting in the way of their ability to listen. Figuring out the barrier to listening is winning half the battle to helping them become better listeners! #positiveparenting #positiveparentingtips #mindfulparenting #mindfulmama #parentinginapandemic #parentingishard #toddlerparenting #childbehavior #tipsforfamilies #parentinghacks #parentinghelp #childpsychology #raisinghealthykids #raisingresponsiblekids #parentchildrelationship #supportforparents #adhdparenting #childhoodanxiety #childmentalhealth #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #maymentalhealthawarenessmonth #resilientkids #bepresentnotperfect #mindfulnessforchildren #positivediscipline #gentlediscipline #consciousdiscipline #intentionalparenting #parentingguide #parenting101
