Why Johnny Doesn’t Listen and What You Can Do About It

One of the biggest frustrations I hear parents complain about is, “My child doesn’t listen!” They share numerous stories of frustration and even heart-rending sadness when a simple request to come to dinner or get ready for bed turns into a yelling match in which both parent and child say things they later regret.

Is this you?

Connie Allen, Coach to ParentsDo you struggle with a child who doesn’t listen and who does the same thing over and over no matter what you say?

Do you repeat the same things to your child with no results until you are exhausted and at the end of your rope?

Does it sometimes seem the only way to get cooperation from your child is to get angry and raise your voice?

Do you ever feel as if you are tossing words at a totally unresponsive brick wall?

When you’re talking to your child, does she ignore you, walk away, get angry or have an emotional meltdown?

If you answered, “Yes!” to any of these questions, you are not alone.

As a parent, you want…

  • to be heard by your child and to have your ideas make a positive difference in his life.
  • to be heard the first time you say something to your child without having to resort to raising your voice or the use of threats and rewards.
  • less stress and more ease in your interactions with your child.
  • your child to be a willing partner in creating more harmony with you so it’s doesn’t feel like a battle so often.

The Good News…this is easier than you think.

The truth is you have lots of power and influence with your child that you probably don’t know about and haven’t been using lately. I can help you recognize this amazing power you already have and show you how to communicate with your child in a way you both enjoy and that gets results.
