Getting Your Kids to Listen
| Mon, 06-18-2007 - 9:19pm |
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...)


Hi Joyce- having no children myself I'll answer from a teacher's perspective, and we know that most children behave a lot differently in our charge than in their parents ;-)
Things I do
The beginning of the year is always tough to get back 'in sync' with each other- I love repeating myself!!!- but by the end of the year I only have to ask once- and if I need 'attention' I get it ;-)
