“Why wont my kid listen to me?”
Most dads think it’s a respect problem.
It’s usually not.
It’s an attention + consistency problem.
If we:
- Say things but don’t follow through
- Give instructions while distracted
- Only talk when something’s wrong
…our voice loses weight.
Your kid isn’t ignoring you.
They’ve just learned your words don’t always mean action.
Try this today:
Give ONE clear instruction.
Say it calmly.
Follow through, no matter what.
No yelling. No repeating 10 times.
Just consistency.
