Getting Children to Obey the First Time
When you give your child an instruction, you just want to hear a “yes mom.” Not a “Why?” nor a “Do I have to?” or even a silence. You don’t want to repeat yourself over and over. You want your child to obey the first time. This post walks you through how to get there.
How to Get Your Child to Obey with a Simple “Yes Mommy”
A really good way to get your child to obey you the first time is to teach them to respond to you with “Yes Mom.” This might seem too easy, but it works!
How To Teach Your Child to Come When Called
You do not enjoy when your child either ignores you when you call them or, worse, runs the other way, it stresses you out! Learn how to get your kiddo to come to you when you call them.
Teach Kids What Obedience Looks Like
Your child cannot really listen to you and obey if they do not know what that would look like. Children are still learning all about life and don’t just know what you mean when you give an instruction.
How Often Can You Really Expect a Child to Obey
You are working toward first time obedience, but how often can you really expect your child to obey you? You might feel hopeless when your child disobeys, but did you know it is NORMAL for a child to not always listen? Read proper expectations here.
Train To Obey Your Voice
If you want your child to obey you the first time, they need to be used to obeying just your voice.
