Riddhi Deorah explains why kids resist commands: their brains go into resistance mode. Instead, sing instructions to a familiar tune. She claims this works 9 out of 10 times for kids aged 3 to 9, whether it's brushing teeth, homework, or bedtime.
If your child is between 3 to 9 years of age and does not listen to you, then watch this video till the end because I'm going to give you something very practical. Research in child psychology shows that when children feel commanded, their brain shifts into resistance mode. But when instructions are delivered playfully, it reduces power struggles and increases cooperation. So please stop yelling. Jab bacha aapki baat nahi suni, and try this instead. Sing their favorite song but swap the lyrics with your instructions. Ye trick teenagers par bhi work karti hai. Your child might laugh at you and roll their eyes, but 9 out of 10 times they will do it. I have made a sample audio recording showing how you can do this for daily struggles like brushing, screen time, homework, and bedtime. So you don't have to shout again. To get this audio, you have to do 2 things. First, share this reel with someone who might need it, and second, comment "sing," and I'll share this audio note with you.
