Why won’t my child listen to me?

Do they ever listen?! From toddlers to teens - this episode covers it all! 

We spoke about: 

  • What we mean by truly listening. 
  • How it makes us feel when we aren’t listened to. 
  • Why it is that children might not listen? 
  • The concept of time for toddlers (and for teens!) - it just isn’t something they are aware of and how it needs to be learnt / re-learnt. 
  • How all children CAN suddenly listen (usually when you don’t want them to!)! 
  • Evolving parenting and how your approach changes along with your communication style as your children grow and mature.  
  • Top tips if you are always feeling frustrated that your children aren’t listening to you. 
  • How children mirror us. 
  • How to handle situations when your child says no!
