5 REASONS WHY YOUR CHILD NO LONGER LISTENS TO YOU , AND EVERY REASON POINTS BACK AT YOU.
- Parents love to blame attitude,
- Blame teachers,
- Blame friends,
- Blame society,
But the truth is simple
When a child stops listening
- It’s not magic
- It’s not a spiritual attack
- It’s not bad luck
- It’s a reflection of what they’ve been seeing from you.
Let’s go straight into the brutal truth 👇
1. YOU TALK TOO MUCH AND DO TOO LITTLE
Kids don’t respect empty promises
They don’t respect repeated threats
They don’t respect instructions that never become actions
- You say you’ll punish them but you don’t
- You say “last warning” but you give ten more
- You shout more than you act
- And children learn fast that your words carry no weight
SOLUTION:
- Be consistent
- If you say it mean it
- Your child should know your words have consequences
- When your actions match your voice discipline becomes effortless.
2. YOU ONLY SHOW UP WHEN YOU’RE ANGRY
Your child doesn’t listen because your presence equals fear
You’re only available when there’s a problem
You only communicate when you want to correct
You only engage when something goes wrong
- So your voice becomes noise
- Not guidance
SOLUTION:
- Connect before you correct
- Build a relationship that isn’t powered by anger
- Talk to them when things are good so they can trust you when things go bad
3. YOU DON’T MODEL THE BEHAVIOR YOU WANT
You want them to be calm but you shout at everyone
You want them to be respectful but you insult people
You want them to listen but you never listen to them
You want them to apologize but you never say sorry
- Children don’t obey lectures
- They copy lifestyles
SOLUTION:
- Become the example
- Your child is a mirror
- Fix what they see and what they reflect will change.
4. YOUR DISCIPLINE IS INCONSISTENT AND UNPREDICTABLE
Today you punish something
Tomorrow you laugh at the same thing
One moment you’re strict
The next moment you’re too tired to care
- Your child isn’t stubborn
- They’re confused
- They don’t know what matters in your home because it changes every day
SOLUTION:
- Set clear rules
- Set clear expectations
- Set clear consequences
- When children know what is allowed and what is not they obey faster.
5. YOU DON’T LISTEN TO THEM SO THEY STOP LISTENING TO YOU.
Ignore a child long enough
They will ignore you back
Not because they’re rebellious
But because you trained them to believe their voice doesn’t matter
- Children want to be heard
- They want to be understood
- They want to feel seen
- When you dismiss their feelings you disconnect their obedience
SOLUTION:
- Let them talk
- Let them explain
- Let them express
- A child who feels heard will willingly obey a parent they trust.
DEAR READER,
If you truly want your child to listen
- Fix the environment you’re creating
- Children don’t rebel without reason
- Check your tone
- Check your consistency
- Check your example
Check your connection
