How do you make your kids listen to you?

I agree Meena, but some kids just dont get it by seeing alone..

my kid is just 2 yrs, he doesnt take the cue from my behaviour at this stage. May be he will understand what I am doing but for him to know that the same is expected out of him is very difficult for his age.. May be a little older toddlers ( of 3+ yrs)will be able to grasp things and imitate it as they would understand the difference between a good and a bad behaviour.

 

hi teju,

i have a 2 year 3 months old daughter.i manage her with our imaginary character 'babu anna'.just like that i told her a story once with a character named babu.she started calling him as babu anna.she is now fond of him(???).instead of telling her don't do this,do like this...........,i just tell it in terms of babu anna.nowadays many are having single kids in home.v don't have anyone role model for them.but this imagination hepled me a lot.if i tell the do's and dont's with consequences referring to her favourite character she listens that.for my surprise she herself tell something referring to her model(babu anna).

thx to babu anna

Me too created an imaginary character like that and use that for potty training but it does not work. I tell her Ricardo will come and catch u if u pee in the carpet. while accidents happen she tells me to call Ricardo.not at all afraid off.

Hi,

We have also created a character called HUNTER UNCLE. He is typically a tall man with a hat and a gun in hand. The so called hunter uncle always comes when something is not right and punishes who ever makes a mistake. So my son is at times scared when he does a mistake, if either me or my husband happen to drop something down or for that matter anything which is not OK he will immediately call hunter uncle and say please come to check appa, that time he is not scared.
This works for us most of the time, especially at bed time.

Love,
Jelaja

 

hi,

i agree with teju.create good role models for kids,but don't create fear with such models.v never tell our daughter that she will be punished for her mistakes by some one.v just explain her the cause and effect like a story with our imaginary character.it works great with her
