Child Not Listening? Stop Repeating. Use This Simple 3-Step Approach

Are you tired of repeating yourself and still feeling ignored by your child?

You’re not alone — and it’s not because your child is disrespectful or you’re doing something wrong.

In this video, you’ll learn why kids often don’t listen the first time and how repeating instructions actually trains their brain to tune you out. More importantly, you’ll discover a simple 3-step method that helps children cooperate without yelling, begging, or repeating yourself.

This approach is rooted in child development and brain science, not punishment or control. It works because it changes the communication pattern — not because it forces obedience.

📌 In this video, you’ll learn:

Why repeating instructions makes listening worse

The brain science behind “selective hearing”

How to get your child’s attention before giving instructions

What to say (and what not to say) to get cooperation

How to follow through calmly without power struggles

What to expect when kids resist at first

How to break the cycle for good

This video is for parents who want to stay calm, confident, and actually be heard — especially during mornings, bedtime, and daily transitions.
