Eliminating the urge for screaming is one important step to getting your toddler on the right track. This may sound obvious, but toddlers often do not listen to their parents because they have many distractions that compete for their attention. Their attention is too distracted by other thoughts and distractions that it becomes difficult for them to hear their parents' instructions. To resolve this issue, it is important to switch off your gadgets and toys. Be gentle and kind with your child.
Give your child a reason for listening
To get your child to listen to you without screaming, it is important to have a good relationship with them. Children need to feel loved and respected by their parents. Positive attention and regular 1:1 time with your child are two important ways to strengthen your relationship and increase your child’s cooperation.
It's possible to get your child listening without screaming. Most kids are motivated to please their parents and will comply with requests 9 times out of 10 if they can understand why you're asking them to do something. Your communications should be as simple and brief as possible in order to make sure your child understands your request.
Give your child the choice
A good way to avoid yelling is to allow your child to make a decision about listening to you. Children need to feel they have the power to act on their own. When they don't feel they have power, they'll use their body language to assert their power. A simple but effective way to create a peaceful home is to allow your child the option of making their own choices.
In addition to the power of giving a choice, you can empower your child by providing information instead of commands. The natural desire of children to know why something matters can lead to them listening without screaming. Michele was serving lunch and her two-year-old son jumped off the seat. She climbed up onto the chair and began to move on the cushion of the chair. Her child didn't listen.
Terrorizing your child
Building a positive relationship is one of the best ways to get your toddler to listen and not shout. Children are more comfortable listening to their parents when they feel secure. It is a great idea to establish a positive relationship, which includes 1:1 special time. Positive attention is a great way for your child to cooperate.
Providing rewards for appropriate behavior is another way to teach toddlers appropriate behavior. It is common for toddlers to be told what they should do in almost every aspect of their life. They can become overwhelmed by the constant reminders. Rewarding bad behavior is crucial, but it's okay to withdraw the reward if the child doesn't comply.
Give your child reason to listen
Empowering your toddler can often be the best way of getting him to pay attention to what you are saying without screaming. Instead of telling him to do something, give him information about why he needs to do it. This will increase the likelihood that he will listen to what you have to say. One example: Michele was just serving lunch and her 2-year-old jumped off the chair. She climbed back on and stomped on the cushion. Michele chose to give her toddler an opportunity to get back on the right track instead of screaming.
You can also sit down with your child to help him listen to you without shouting. This can be done by looking at him and telling him that you are not his boss. He will feel more connected to you if you sit down. If you are unable to listen to what your toddler is saying, you can ask him a question about the situation to clarify it.
