Justin & Kylie discuss tonight's webinar on building listening in your kids. Magpies are back! Why don't kids listen? Tips to help kids follow instructions Justin's story from when his daughter ignores him These days "compliance" is a dirty word in the parenting blogosphere. For many people compliance means that a parent is a demanding authoritarian, expecting children to follow orders regardless of preferences otherwise. Compliance connotes coercion and intrusiveness. Tonight's Happy Families webinar is all about what to do when the kids just won't listen! Sometimes they just have to buckle up in the car. They actually should swim between the flags, wear shoes while riding a scooter, and stop throwing knives at their brother! These are safety issues. And they matter. And sometimes the table does need to be cleared, the school bag put away, or the stinky sports gear placed in the laundry basket. It’s called being part of the family and learning to do your part. So what do we do when our kids “won’t listen” and it actually does matter? Find more details and register for tonight's What To Do When Kids Won't Listen webinar here.
