I came back to comment because I was skeptical that the advice you gave in the video would work. I definitely thought I was already giving clear directions, but I was actually making statements. Over the last week, I’ve been giving clear, timestamped directions in a firm voice and it’s been effective at least 95% of the time. Thank you!

So glad he showed examples and we can be more self aware! ❤
For leaving the park, I give a pre-talk. We will be here for 1 hour. Then I tell them 30 > 15 > 10 > 5 > 1 min left. Give them one last chance to go down the slide and then it's time to go. Hold their hand and redirect them to getting enthusiastic about the next activity, usually lunch or snack time. Also, actively play with them if there's no other kids their age. Now for vegetables, I believe it's important to have them try a little of everything. They don't have to finish it. If you left it up to them, you'd have kids that just refuse to eat vegetables all together. I know several grown men like this. Sometimes it helps to go back to the drawing board on how a vegetable is cooked/presented. Seasoned and roasted is often tastier than boiled or even steamed. And sometimes you can "hide" pureed veggies in other dishes, especially ones with sauces. Get creative.

This is also what I do, pre talks always work for every situation. I got my kid into kindergarten without crying and happy to enter the classroom with no hesitation, the teacher told us he had a great time and also he was ready to go to school next day and the following. It works with the park, with whichever games he's into, even with watching tv we set times and let him know whenever something is ''the last chance, the last piece, or the last whatever''. They understand and stop acting against directions.

I get good results with my children this way too. My eldest already has an internal clock to the 10 & 5 min marks. There are a few times I forgot to set my watch and he would ask if they still had 5 mins left or walked over to me ready to leave since the time was up… and I’m the one who forgot or got into a conversation with another parent. Giving them directions on what to expect and what comes next definitely makes transitions easier and avoids a fight or tantrums. I also sauté vegetables with seasoning and just enough water to get them tender to a texture they’ll like. My grandmother cooked vegetables with nearly every meal and introduced me to many varieties. I love them and make sure to introduce my babies to many varieties as well. They eat broccoli, asparagus, spinach, cabbage, eggplant, chayote, and many others.

1. For moving from a preferred activity to a less preferred one I give a 2 minute warning. 2. In my videos you can see my barely 2 year old sounding out "cat". He previously did it independently & surprised us so we've continued doing it with mastered letters!
I've decided that part of your effectiveness with kids is your bright engaging eyes. Great Vid! I got this tip from one of your shorts - make both decisions result in the outcome you want - thank you!
I don’t have any kids and im not a teacher but i still want to learn these things because i think its important to know this stuff. Sometimes i am put in charge of children and i have no idea how to get them to do stuff they aren’t interested in. Don’t want the lids to learn that im the pushover adult that lets them do whatever. Thanks for your tips! They are very helpful!
Excellent video!! We had a brilliant part-time nanny for one of my kids for a time and she taught me a fantastic tip. Give them heads up: we have 5 minutes then we will... . When times comes tell them it's time to ... And then count them off: I'm going to count to 3 and you will get into the car/put shoes on/ go brush your teeth. Then you count loudly and slowly. I don't know what magic happens but kids start moving and doing and usually get whatever it is done by 2. If they get to 3 (that's so extremely rate that I only remember it happening twice) you say - you lose. :) at which point they scramble to finish even faster. Of course when they finish before the count is out - you have to say WELL DONE! i don't know how but this works. The main trick is to keep it positive! It's a fun drill, there's nothing impressive about it and there's never a punishment. It's a little hurry up magic tip.

Thanks for sharing
I just want to thank you for these videos. When I was a 1st time mom I had no one to helped so I reached out to parent classes books and even when I was breast feeding I joined support groups to learn. I am a person who doesn't want to follow how I was raised which was a very bad abusive emotional and physical childhood. Do I try my best for my kids. I always feel "what can I do better, what am I doing wrong" so learning more is so helpful especially in Non judgement areas. I've been told "oh your kids are spoiled you should spank" nope I don't believe in that nor do I yell. I teach them to express and use words so I can raise children that know to communicate. So watching your teaching videos are so helpful I thank you!!!
Second video with you @ToddlersCanRead -- yes, there is a flow or rhythm to the direction; execution requires clarity on the part of who is asking. Like an extension of the confidence that kids ask for things, except with us, we include the fork-in-the-road Question at the end of what we're stating. And it needs to be streamlined to fly as intended. Thanks again for sharing the wisdom and love.
Well done, yet again!! It is never too late to start giving clear directions and children will respond, although they may try to get you to be more flexible, stand your ground. I believe getting anyone to follow your directions begins with your mind set. If you have the attitude that you expect your directions to be listened to and followed they usually are. The sooner you establish who is in charge the better and it makes for a more positive relationship with your children. You don't need to be mean, just firm.
This is the one YT channel I turned app notifications on for. Some of the best advice for modern day parents!

I use to be so embarrassed to take my kids to the park because i knew when i said “it’s time to go” they would complain or get loud and cry. For the past couple of years when we arrive at the park, I remind them and say. “Okay, when I say 5 more minutes! it means its almost time to go. And it’s works so well. They even come back to me and say 4 more minutes 3,2,1 and no crying or complaining. It works!! It took a few times of doing this until they got it. So don’t give up. Just keep doing it.

@@Mt4evr that’s fair and just remember everyone is different:) In my case, I explain how I feel to her. If her disrespect made me sad or a little angry, etc. Disrespect is when a boundary or line is crossed. I am here adult. I am responsible for her. I am the authority figure. Mommy and daddy are the leaders. There is a time for the child to be the leader, but right now is not that time. Something along those lines may work. Or perhaps role reversal/role play. That is fun most times! I even incorporate these lessons and experiences in story time. We are a very honest family, so keeping it real works best for us. I hope this helps! If not, pray about it :) Father has ALL the answers!
I just want to say thank you so much for being so specific! This is extremely helpful!

Even by 5:48, I still didn't think I was in any of the categories you mentioned, it took me that long to think, duh, maybe you need to AT LEAST observe yourself to see what I MAY BE DOING to cause confusion. I do think I confuse him!!! AT LEAST OBSERVE OURSELVES, THE LEAST WE CAN DO!. Very least!
Those dinosaurs crack me up 😂😂
You're a good teacher, this is exactly the way to go. I've been giving directions ever since I first heard about it a few years ago, and let me tell you, it works (like mostly) 😅 There will be days when my kids are but nah, I don't want to, I'll explain them why it has to be and what the (actual !!!!) consequences are when they don't do it. at the latest it works out then. Like for example: If you don't wear a jacket you're probably gonna get cold. The bonus is, my kids know I am reliable. I hope this stays that way for a long long time ☺ I can't wait for puberty when probably everything will go downhill 🤣

Emma Hubbard has a video for this but it's been awhile, and I don't remember the title. She says that instead of simply telling them to not do something, tell them what to do.

Not sure if this is quite what you are looking for or not 😅

Because you’re being demanding when you need to understand even though they are kids they are human and they may not like broccoli and have preferences, how would you like to be told to eat something you don’t like? It’s all about learning your child and giving them options to try other things they might enjoy. Also not only does it sound demanding and forceful but that’s not going to give you any results because you’re asking them to do something you know you’re going to fail simply because you do not understand your child.

I think that trying to force kids to finish their food often leads to worse eating habits or even eating disorders. I was told that whatever was on my plate I had to finish. Which leads to a grown up who’s conditioned to clean the plate, even when full. Don’t want to be wasteful. Instead gain weight, feel uncomfortable, and lessen the (totally unnecessary) guilt for leaving food on the plate 🫤 I always encouraged my now adult son to at least try everything. But damn he was the pickiest eater and no amount of threats would make him eat something he didn’t want. He didn’t like ground beef, nothing white, most veggies, no lettuce. He was still healthy. It all worked out as he grew up. he moved out on his own and had roommates of a different culture and was eager to do new things. Now he eats more types of food than even I like.

@@Ronni31 I'm so glad that worked out with your son! I too was raised to clear my plate, it has made it extremely difficult for me to stop eating when I am full. I was struggling to finish one time, and my husband said, "you know you don't have to eat all the food, right?" It was like a light bulb moment haha. I no longer feel guilty for leaving food on my plate, but it's still hard to stop eating. My husband and make sure our kids try everything, but if they don't like it, they don't have to eat it. I think when kids are a little older, maybe it's ok to teach them that sometimes we do eat food that we don't like, but seems unnecessary to try that with a toddler

Your parenting has to grow with them. Be consistent and change the consequences to be appropriate for them. My husband’s parents knew that the worst consequences for him was being grounded because he was a social child where as with me i was a loner so that wouldn’t work with me i just got a spanking and with my brother he got video games taken away. My 10 year old nephew also does best when screens are taken away until he does what he was told.
My 6yo won't listen to his teachers!!! It makes me sad because he's a wonderful kid
Yes but what about this kids that hate control, even hate to be a child because he feels parents or teachers are controlling all his life and he can't be himself. He has options but some kiddos question everything, don't like to be followers and and not easy going in a way that they want to be them.

Lots of variety! Give them a plate full of color and options at dinner and try to get them to take a bite of everything but dont stress it too much. Its there if they’re hungry and if not you’re not going to make them anything else. Also try to limit their snacks during the day.
Basically tell your kids what you want them to do. Mind blown.

No he said telling a kid to finish their broccoli is wrong. Forcing kids to eat anything whether healthy or not has been shown to cause issues with their relationship with food later. It’s cool to offer it, ask them to taste it, even say “you’re not getting more of ____ food you like until you take another bite or eat all of your broccoli” but making them finish all of something isn’t healthy.
