[quote=Anonymous]In your scenario it sounds like he just isn't listening or processing what you are saying. With my toddler I say "1,2,3 eyes on me. Are your ears listening?" and then repeat myself when I know I have her full attention. With an older kid, I'd probably just ask them to repeat what I just said so they process the task I'm giving them. Whispering instead of yelling works too. When you speak really quietly, they have to stop what they're doing and focus on what you're saying. It's light hearted and sillier than yelling as well so usually gets a positive reaction. -Nanny of 15 years, mom of 3.5 years that's never yelled at a kid[/quote]
