How to Get Your Child to obey when you tell them to do something
Ever wonder why your child acts like you don't exist when you tell them to stop doing something?
Things You'll Need
- Self-Discipline
Instructions
Ask yourself how many times in a row do you tell your child to do something before you take action, that is... if you take action? If you ask them more than twice to do something, then your at fault for your child's not listening! Yes, like it or not it's 100% your fault! Understand a basic fact about child psychology, that if you give a child an inch they will take a take a trip to China on your butt and they will laugh at you the whole way there! You must be consistent every time, drill this into your head, every time!!!!! If your not consistent then your child will find the inconsistency in your discipline and will expose it and exploit it to their advantage every single time! They are smart, are you? Give a warning, tell them what you want them to do and the result if they don't do it. Then if they don't listen after the first warning give them another, uh.. negative, no they get one warning then what? Then they get the result of not listening after the warning- a time out, sent to their room, no more t. v, whatever works! Do this everytime! If you have to write this out on a sheet of paper 1000 times to drill this into your skull then please... proceed to do so.
