Why Your Child Is Not Listening to You

Developmental Stage

Attention and Focus

Distractions and short attention spans can make it hard for kids to stay focused on what you're saying.

Communication Style

Your tone and delivery matter. Clear, calm instructions are more likely to get through.

Power Struggles

Children may test boundaries or seek control. Not listening can be their way of asserting independence.

Emotional Factors
