Don’t forget to check out my free discipline workshop, “How to Get Your Child to Listen Without Yelling” - www.themompsychologist.com/workshop
It's morning time and you just need to get your child to put on their shoes and jacket but they're dawdling... Ahh!!! You find yourself yell, "Hurry up!!!"
Or maybe it's the evening and you're trying to wrap things up for the day. You're exhausted so you blurt out, "C'mon, c'mon. Let's go!!!"
Only to realize it doesn't work.
I know it's tempting to fall back on shouting at our kids to hurry when we're in a rush.
But it often just leads to more dawdling because now they feel pressured and can sense our impatience.
In this week's episode, I share 4 things to try saying instead of "Hurry up!!" to help your child get things done quickly.
And remember, it's not that we NEVER say these things. It's just that the more tools we have, the better!
Let me know down in the comments which one you're going to try!
