Have their attention before you speak. If you are too busy to stop what you are doing to speak to them, and end up just yelling from the next room – it is likely that your teenager will be too busy to stop what they are doing to listen to you. πŸ‘€β£
⁣
Instead, if you want them to hear you, look them in the eye. Tell them, “𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘦π˜₯ 𝘡𝘰 𝘡𝘒𝘭𝘬 𝘡𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘢.” Get in the habit of giving your child your undivided attention and have them do the same in return! ⁣
