介绍:
So the first thing I always suggest people do is get in the face of the child they're talking to, and really, that applies to any kind of communication. If you're hollering from another room, chances are, people are hearing you but they're not driven to action because you're not present; you're not engaged in the conversation in the first place.
And then get confirmation. Again, that's another important component of a conversation - if you make a request, the person needs to respond with either a "yes" or "no".
I want some kind of confirmation and this takes some prompting.
Then you need to get some action. So, this is where consequences come into play. And I like to give one warning. So, I would say "that's one" and just by saying that's one, my children are clear now that they need to jump into action or something's going to happen.
Okay, so that's my favorite ways to get children to respond to what I've asked them to do - get in the line of vision, get confirmation, give a consequence.
