[quote=Anonymous]A 4 yo will not listen/obey commands. (Neither will most people at any age, honestly.) you have to state a clear request and what will happen if they don’t do it, and/or proceed to take the action yourself if they don’t. Something like jumping on a couch is a behavior they’re doing because they need to play. So, you have to give them some alternative place to jump or climb. If a ball is thrown, it’s taken away. If they get a snack too early, it’s taken and you say “you can have this back at snack time.” Etc. [/quote]
