Why Won't My Child Listen?
Why Doesn’t My Child Listen?
Whether you are raising a two year-old or a seventeen-year old, defiant behavior is most likely a familiar topic to you. As children grow and begin to develop their values and opinions, their assertion of these views often become more frequent. They want to make their own decisions, at their own pace, and likely without your input.
But they still live in your home. So how do you allow them to develop their personalities and healthy decision-making skills while still respecting your rules and expectations? Communication, positive reinforcement, and structure are key. Children or adolescents need to understand your expectations of their behavior to reduce conflict and increase harmony.
