A parenting expert explains why kids refuse to listen: they're naturally impulsive and egocentric, not deliberately rude. When you stop seeing misbehavior as disrespect, you can teach cooperation more calmly.
This and how to deal with tantrums is probably my most frequently asked question. Here's how we interpret it when they don't listen. We think they're being rude and they're being really disrespectful and it makes us furious. And here's something we need to remind ourselves: kids are naturally impulsive and egocentric and they live in the moment. And when we know that, it helps us because they're not being deliberately rude. Or disrespectful. But we can, and we must, teach them to listen and cooperate. I really want you to come to my masterclass. It's called 'The 3 Secrets to Managing Tantrums, Meltdowns, and Kids Who Refuse to Listen.' You're going to learn so much.
