Trying to get into some new habits in this New Year? Here is a "game changer in our arsenal of parenting tools," as Lindsay calls it: how to ask your kids to do something in a way that increases the odds that they'll actually LISTEN. Special thanks to the Quality of Life Foundation, which made this series possible.

Getting Kids to Listen—Without Nagging!

True enough, even the smallest kids want to be independent and to make their own decisions. No one wants to be told what to do. I find that asking my daughter whether she wants to do whatever it is that I want her to do (put on socks, start getting for bed etc) or how she is going to do it, has a far highter success ratio than simply telling her. She’s only 2.5, yet already she wants her own autonomy.
