How to Get Your Kids to Listen - The FIRST TIME You Ask | Tia Slightman (EP413)

In this episode, parenting coach, Tia Slightman, joins us to share powerful insights on improving children’s listening and behavior without resorting to punishment. Tia explains why understanding the root causes of kids’ actions is far more effective than relying on yelling, timeouts, or endless reminders. She introduces simple, practical strategies to set clear boundaries, foster cooperation, and build stronger connections with your children. We also dive into the impact of screens, the importance of consistent discipline, and why it’s essential for parents to seek guidance and develop positive parenting skills. Tia also shares her personal journey as a parenting coach and offers valuable resources to help families create more harmony at home.
