When parents give advice to children, often parents need to repeat the request several times. Not that the child can not hear what is being said. But they like not paying attention and too preoccupied with its own activities. The following tips for children want to hear the advice of parents.
Speak with the use of eye contact. It is not effective if parents give orders by shouting from the next room or pacing back and forth. Make sure the child has given full attention before the parents say something. If necessary, ask for permission for the child to temporarily suspend his activity, in order for parents to have a chance to speak. Align your body with your child, so parents can see both eyes of the child while delivering a request or order. The interaction will keep the child focused on listening, and distract from other activities.
Speak phrases with polite language. Use the word please when asking for something. Give an easy explanation for the child. Instead of banning things, tell them what they want them to do. Say thanks after the child does what is required. Plus positive labeling as a supporting word, such as: responsible, helpful, diligent and others.
