RE: Getting Children to Listen? Let Them Choose to Pay Attention
There is a lot of great advice there. Especially "don't change the kids, change the message" that's so true (know your audience).
It sounds so simple and logical but it's something that could totally pass unnoticed.
Plus, why enter in a struggle (you trying to change the other person, the other person naturally resisting to change) while you could just change the delivery of the message.
Great post!
It becomes a battle of wills, which is unwinnable in the end. Some of that is unavoidable, since everyone is an individual, but listening and providing positive reinforcement seems a better way for some of it.
