In this episode, you'll learn the four most common communication mistakes that make kids ignore you and the simple, science-backed fixes that actually work. These quick shifts in how you phrase requests, give directions, and connect with your child can transform daily power struggles into calm cooperation so your child listens the first time, not the 17th.
