A huge part of effectively and positively changing your child’s behavior comes to your mindset as a parent. Logical thinking is super important regarding being realistic with effective change.

Part 2 of the first “why your kid won’t listen to you” - this episode is about what you as a parent can do to teach your child to listen to you and follow your instructions rather than protesting and refusing. 

Part one centered around knowing the importance of motivation and learning how to identify things that you could use to motivate your child to listen to your instructions more. If you haven’t heard that episode, I highly recommend listening to that episode first because part 2 adds to that concept.

Don’t underestimate the power of a reward system. We are all under a reward system as adults, which in turn causes us to do more of a particular behavior. Taking that same concept, apply and presenting rewards to your child can be very effective with teaching correct responses and behavior for your child.
