When it comes to getting kids to do what you want, sometimes it’s all in the look and tone. But, husband has a different take in how to talk to our kids.
How Do You Talk To Your Kids?

I have three boys: Yuri (14 years old), Nerdvens (11), and finally Walker (5). What i usually do, if they are close to me, i just look at them in the face. Most of the time when i do that, they already understand me. If this one fail, now i rise my voice. Most of the time that one works, because they know what the two next ones are going to. That a double punishment.1)- spending a long time on their knees, and 2)-no tvs, go to beds early than usual, and even hit them little bit. When kids do things which are not right, it always good to private from what they like. exemple: games, where they like to go, stay away from televisions. Please, right after you punish them never go back to them to say like honney you know this, you know that etc. Always show them that you ready to punish them more the next time they do something similar. Kids are always excited to go outside. If you plan to take them to some place like parks, restaurents, to see other friends; if they do something wrong that ask for punishment, when the time comes, just tell them: You know what? They might say yes dad or momy.Then you tell them , we are not going to this place any more. They would say why? Then you say back to them, because you do this or that and i was not happy about it. Or sometimes you tell them to do something and they refuse to. Just punish them the same way. There are many many things that i would say, but it would be too much.
Yep, I have yet to meet a mom and dad that have the exact same approach. My dad was a quiet anger kind of guy and my husband is very much the same way but don’t make him repeat himself 2x or he will get the ultimate bass in his voice which can scare Nia to tears. I get on her level in her face to talk to her and have found consequences work. It took a while to figure out but now all I have to say is, “Do you want to have a consequence?”and she (usually) straightens right up.
