In the past two years I have watched my now five year old boy turn from being a good listener to a not so good listener. Nothing works. We have taken toys, games, tv, you name it away. It does not phase him. The more I think about it the more I think maybe I need to change (and hubby too if I can get him on board.) I try to praise my kiddo but lately he has done the bare minimum to be praised. I do realize that the things he isn't listening too are not that bad. But telling him to put up his clothes five times or take your napkin off of the table and throw it away gets old really fast, especially when it is the same thing every night. So here I go and embark on more positive thinking and positive reinforcement.
Starting with a chore chart. I have one I bought when he was two and half in the hopes to use it one day. Tomorrow is the day.
