Parenting Challenges: Why Kids Don’t Listen And What Actually Works

Do you find yourself constantly repeating instructions, only to be ignored? Do simple requests turn into full-blown battles? If so, you’re not alone.

But here’s the truth—getting kids to listen isn’t about talking more or yelling louder; it’s about understanding how they process information and how we communicate as parents.

In this episode, I share:

• Why yelling weakens your authority and what to do instead
• The importance of routines in fostering cooperation
• How staying calm and relaxed makes all the difference
• A key insight from my own son on why kids choose to listen
• How to reconnect with kids and make the real world more exciting than screens

Many parents think obedience comes from discipline alone, but real listening happens when kids feel respected, heard, and understood.

If you’re ready to stop the endless power struggles and build a relationship where your child actually wants to cooperate, this episode is for you.

Listen now and let me know—what’s the biggest challenge you face when getting your kids to listen?
