We're always telling kids to "pay attention" -- in school, in church, and of course, when mom's trying to explain why it's not generally considered a good idea to smear peanut butter in one's hair. But what we don't really tell children is how to pay attention, even when they really need to. What's your best tactic for getting your kids to really hear what you're trying to say? (Other than a megaphone...)

LOL...one thing that worked with my son (sometimes) was to use a very soft tone of voice.
