It is a sunny Fall day here in New York and I'm ready to deliver some great advice.
Do you often find yourself repeating commands at your children. Do this!! Do that!! with no response at all. Asking five times within 5 minutes. If so try this Nifty little tip. 1. Make sure you have your child's full attention. 2. Make eye contact. 3. Verbalize your directions on what it is you need your child to do. 4. Set the kitchen timer or any timer available for 3 to 5 minutes. 5. Do nothing until the timer goes off.
Children as well as adults often need a time period to process the information delivered to them. This technique will take the pressure off of you harping and put success or failure on your child. Practice this when you have enough time to discuss what it is you are doing. Never practice when you are already in a rush. After 8 to 10 times of practice and delivering you will find success.
