Children will be more likely to understand and comply with your instructions if you follow these guidelines:

👉 Be direct. Make statements rather than asking questions: “Please sit down,” as opposed to “Are you ready to get out your homework?”

👉 Be close. Give instructions when you are near your child, rather than calling out from across the room.

👉 Use clear and specific commands. Instead of “Go ahead,” say, “Please go start your reading assignment.”

👉 Give age-appropriate instructions. Speak to your child at a level he will understand. If your child is younger, keep things simple and use words you know he knows: “Please pick up the ball.” With older children, it’s important to be clear without being patronizing.

👉 Give instructions one at a time. Especially for kids who have attention challenges, try to avoid giving a series of instructions: “Please put on your sneakers, get your lunch off the kitchen counter, and meet me in the front hall.”

👉 Keep explanations simple. Giving a rationale can increase the likelihood children will listen to a command, but not if the commands gets lost in it. For instance: “Go get your coat on because it’s raining and I don’t want you to get your clothes wet.” Instead, try: “It’s raining and I don’t want you to get your clothes wet. Go get your coat on.”

👉 Give kids time to process. After you give an instruction, wait a few seconds, without repeating what you said. Children then learn to listen to calm instructions given once rather than learning that they don’t need to listen because the instructions will be repeated.

It’s okay to just say what fat is. You can use this response ⁠whether your child asks why a person is fat or skinny. ⁠

It’s okay to acknowledge that people, healthy people, come in all shapes and sizes. It’s okay to speak about body fat neutrally. It’s okay to not pass on the baggage of weight bias we have to our children.⁠

During this time, your teen is developing their unique personality and opinions. Relationships with friends are still important, yet your teen will have other interests as they develop a more clear sense of who they are. This is also an important time to prepare for more independence and responsibility; many teenagers start working and many will be leaving home soon after high school.
