Description

Mentioned:

Every mom has been there: you ask your child to do something right now… and they ignore you, argue, or drag their feet. It’s frustrating, exhausting, and can turn the simplest request into a battle.

In this episode, I’ll share practical strategies to help kids actually listen in the moment, not general listening or parenting strategies. 

You’ll learn:

  • Why kids tune moms out (and it’s not always defiance)
  • How tone, timing, and body language affect listening
  • Common mistakes that make kids less likely to respond
  • Simple adjustments that get kids to follow through faster
  • How to stay calm and consistent without nagging or yelling

If you’ve ever thought, “Why don’t my kids listen the first time I ask?” this episode is for you.
