How To Make A Child Listen - Techniques And Strategies From A Child Behavior Program Isn't it frustrating when your child or teenager is constantly messaging or talking on his mobile phone and listening to you seems to be the last thing on his list!

When you are telling them what is acceptable or not, you really have to keep it short and to the point. We have to remember that kids have an attention span which is very short and they are very easily distracted. If you go on and on, then the chances of them taking all that in, is very slim indeed.Then we have to make sure that the good behavior gets noticed and praised too. Who doesn't like praise!
