Description: Getting a child to listen can be one of the greatest challenges that a parent has to face early on. Indeed, one method that parents tend to employ is to simply repeat the same instruction over and over again. You might find yourself saying, “How many times do I have to tell you…?” This rarely, if ever, helps the child to learn what they have done wrong, because the answer to the question is a number! It has nothing to do with what you wish to communicate to the child!
