    How to Get Your Kids Listen to You

    What should be done when kids stop listening to their parents? Is it correct to punish the child if he or she does not listen to his or her parents? What are effective ways to get kids to listen to parents?

    Hi, I have seen so many parents complaining about the fact that children do not listen to them. It might shock some parents that their kids are not listening to them anymore. There are several children who do not listen to their parents and you are not the only one. We all have this problem of our children not listening to us. There can be various reasons that your child is not listening to you. You need to find out the reason why they are not listening to you. Once you find out the reason try to find a solution to it.

    Hello, it is not always that your child is intentionally not listening to you, there can be many genuine reason why there are not listening. Sometimes children feel that no one can control them other than themselves and due to that reason they start avoiding what their parents are trying to say. They try to focus more on the outside world and are more interested what is going on outside. They start thinking that they have grown up so much now that they do not require to listen to their parents. Not listening to their parents is the one way they show that they are independent now.

    According to me, the children at this age spend majority of their time in the school. In school they have several responsibilities and pressures to deal with and following instruction of the school throughout the day. As they feel school is more demanding, once they come home they need to destress and relax their minds with no one controlling them and when you ask them to do something they completely ignore it. They do not listen to the parents but you can make them listen to you once you listen to them and their problems.

    Firstly remember that when your child is not listening to you do not shout at him, this will make him more stubborn and do that more. Just relax and take a step back, calm yourself and always remember your child is not doing all this intentionally. In this age all the children act the same and as said above all the children do not listen to their parents. You can ignore when the child does not listen to you when he watches TV or is playing, but make sure you ask him to repeat what you have said so that he remembers what you have said. This tactic can work a lot.

    Hi, your child will try hard not to listen to you but they cannot ignore the fact that you are present in the same room if you make your presence known. If they are in their room busy with something, just go and give a tap on the shoulder so that they come out of it. You can act up so that the child can listen to you. Try to do something which will divert his or her attention and make them come to you. Such tactics have been used by my friends and they completely worked on her children.

    I have seen parents calling out their children’s name over and over again and again in spite of knowing that they will not listen. Firstly stop doing that and listen that is not going to help as they are never going to come up to you. Make him realise that you will request him once or twice but if he does not respond he will have to face the consequences. If you call your child out for dinner but he is busy playing on the computer then you will have to stop the internet services till he does not listen.

    Children do not listen to their parents, then parents should start tricking them. When you ask your child to wear his shoes for school but he does not from the next day you try and not to keep his shoes ready to wear, so that he searches for it in hurry and let his school bus leave without him. Make him realise if he does not listen and act arrogant such consequences he’ll have to face every day. This might be like a lesson for him when he gets a late remark for coming school late and the teachers scolds him for being late in front of everyone.

    Hi, I would suggest parents to listen to their children as there are times when the children feel that no one pays attention to them. The parents are so busy now-a-days that they get no time for their children. They have no time to spend with their children and consider tings which are important for the children to be insignificant and of no importance. This is the reason child don’t listen to them. Once you start listening to your children and give them respect they will also start giving your respect and listen to you.
