Are you tired of repeating yourself over and over to your kids?
Try this. Step one – get at eye-level with your child, then start talking. If he looks away, or steals a glance at the TV, start over.
Step two – echo. Let your child repeat what you’ve said. That way, you know he got the message.
It works like this… get at their eye level and say, “Billy, please clean your room.” “Yes, Daddy,” he says. Now here’s where the echo comes in. “So what are you going to do, Billy?”… “I’m going to clean my room.”…
Eye level, and echo. A two-step communication plan that really works.
Hope this helps you as it has helped me!
