Why Children Don't Hear Their Parents: Think About What You Tell Them

27.11.2024 15:52

Children and, more often than not, teenagers sometimes only pretend to hear their parents, but still do what they want.

This suggests that the relationships in the family can hardly be called normal. Surely someone does not show due respect and this complaint is not always addressed to the children.

According to experts, in such situations, parents should listen to what they say to their children.

Reason one

It happens that parents are overcome by an emotional wave and they start talking non-stop.

This could be criticism, minor reproaches, a showdown over studies or an untidy room.

But in the child’s ears, such speeches sound like background noise, and all because he is hearing them more than once.

This happens when communication between parents and children is limited to instructions and demands.

The second reason

The child understands that the parents have some reserve of patience. That is, a conditional period of time when the father or mother will move from threats to actions.

To prevent this from happening, the child should not ignore the parents’ demands.

The third reason

Instead of talking and addressing the behavioral problem with their child, parents prefer to complain about their child's behavior to friends, relatives, or teachers at school.

All this is pointless, and children simply won’t listen to these stories.

The fourth reason

If a child has to be forced to act and constantly voiced threats, which often remain threats, then children quickly understand how and in what situation they need to act.

So you either have to think about what you say or follow through.

For reference

Child — in its basic meaning, a person during childhood. Age boundaries of childhood vary across cultures, life cycle theories, and legal systems. In general, a child is a person from birth to the end of puberty.
