    Why Kids Don't Listen (And How to Fix It)

    Miglior citazione da Why Kids Don't Listen (And How to Fix It)

    “

    When we say 'my kid doesn't listen,' we're not actually talking about hearing; we're really saying 'my kid doesn't cooperate when I ask them to do something they don't want to do.' The key is to connect before you correct, working with their brain instead of against it.
