155: How to get your child to listen to you
b'Recently someone posted a question in one of my communities:\\n\\n\\u201cIs it really so wrong to want my child to just LISTEN to me sometimes? It seems like such a no-no in gentle parenting circles, and I\\u2019m worried that my child is growing up to be entitled and won\\u2019t know how to respect authority when they really HAVE to.\\u201d\\n\\nParent Chrystal gave such a beautiful and eloquent response to this question that I asked her to come back on the show (her first visit was last year) to talk us through how she approaches getting her (three! spirited!) children to listen to her\\u2026and what tools she uses instead.\\n\\nAnd this doesn\\u2019t end up creating entitled children who refuse to cooperate with any authority figure; in fact, her most spirited child was called a \\u201cconscientious and rule-abiding upstanding model student\\u201d by her teacher (which just about made Chrystal laugh out loud).\\n\\nChrystal has been on this respectful parenting journey for a while now, but I learned during this interview that she first interacted with me in the Setting Loving (and Effective!) Limits workshop, where she started transforming a lot of the battles she was having with her children into a collaborative, cooperative relationship.\\n\\nIf you want to make your own transformation from a relationship where your child JUST DOESN\\u2019T LISTEN to one where you have mutual care and respect for each other\\u2019s needs, come join me in the Setting Loving (and Effective) Limits Workshop! Registration is open now, and for the first time you can follow a self-paced Flex Path version if you\\u2019d like. \\n\\nOr you could take the Guided Path option, where we\\u2019ll send you the content on a daily basis between May 9-13, with some pre-work this coming week - so now would be the perfect time to sign up at https://www.yourparentingmojo.com/settinglimits'
