Learning this blew my mind!
It’s not that they’re not listening, it’s that they *can’t* listen 🤯

I was getting so frustrated with all the “huhs” and “whats ” that our 4 year old was saying that I actually took her for a hearing test. And guess what....she has perfectly great hearing 🎉

And then I learnt this.....
Until the age of 15(ish), a child cannot differentiate easily between multiple sounds. They *have* to concentrate so hard on their game, the show they’re watching, the story you’re reading that they actually cannot hear 👂🏻 what you say! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Simple solution - get their attention by calling their name (sometimes a few times) *before* you say anything else.

[Also, there’s no guarantee this advice will make your kids *actually* listen to you.....they can still choose not to 🤦‍♀️😂 ]
