Why Won’t My Kids Listen to Anything I Say?

When parents talk about listening, we're not really talking about listening. We're talking about compliance. In this episode, Dr. Becky hears from three parents about their struggles with “listening” and offers different strategies for ways to improve cooperation.

My son always refuses to go bathroom. I used the closing ur eyes trick. Dint work. He was still just sitting and laughing. I improvised and said I guess mommy will have to just dance alone and this kid will not be able to watch me dance. He got down in a minute and was in the bathroom ready. Thanks Dr Becky!!

Hi Dr. Becky. I love your podcasts, however, I wonder if you would consider a podcast community for parents of tweens and teens. I understand if this is not your age range specialty! Thank you either way.

Yeah none of these work. Single mom sleeping 4 hrs a night who has energy for this at 6am

@Lisaderruck55 your child is not the reason to the situations in your life. Neither are you, but for your child the connection is really important. If you as an adult cannot handle urself how can u expect a child to. I always remind myself about this quote one doc said to me:
Often times when we focus on how we feel we forget who we are to our kids.
We are their world. Period.

This was surprisingly so unhelpful that I’m pretty sure yelling is the only actual solution
