Little one doesn't listen....

Does anyone else have a little one that simply doesn't listen? He missed the terrible 2's and now he's on the terrible 3 almost 4. I spend a lot of time shouting and it's really making me fed up.

If I do a really annoying fake happy voice like miss Rachel my son is more likely to listen and not get arsy about instructions. To anyone listening I sound ridiculous and so sarcastic but 🤷🏻‍♀️ he listens that way

@Lydia if it's what works for you then, it works 👍🏼

Consider trying it maybe, I know for me, using a stern voice just upsets him and makes him more likely to ignore me. Then he uses that voice with me at a different point if he’s mad at me. If he goes to nursery do they do anything specific to get him to listen?

Yep all the time! Does my head in xx

@Ruth Dwarfy glad it's not just me, maybe it's an age thing! x

@Lydia as far as I'm aware at pre school he's fine 😐 x

No I mean a lot of classrooms have a specific chant or rhyme to get all the kids to stop what they’re doing! Like “123, all eyes on me” Ask them what they use x

@Lydia I know they have a bell, when it's time to tidy up, maybe I'll try that 😆 seriously tho, thanks I'll investigate x

Ugh my son is exactly the same at the moment, feels like I’m fighting a losing battle!

@Chloe let's hope it's an age/developmental thing. So hard sometimes x
