Discipline: How to get Kids to Listen without Nagging, Reminding or Yelling

127 CommentsAdvice, Giveaway, Life, , , ,
I truly believe that by having a child, I’ve learned a lot about myself and how to have more patience. Children really know how to keep pushing to see what you’ll do, don’t they? (Sometimes,even more so than adults.) And yes sometimes, it just gets to be too much. That’s when I declare the earlier-than-early-bedtime, and pull out my secret stash of chocolate chip cookies. lol.
So lucky for me I’ve found a new friend, Amy McCready.  She’s been on all the talk shows (even Rachel Ray!) and has many years of experience helping parents enjoy parenting. She is just a wonderful person and we chatted on the phone. (I get tired of communicating via the computer, so I just called her to chat the old fashioned way…on the phone. ) Amy and I have worked to create an opportunity for you. She presents a webinar for parents and I would like to share that with you. I think that she has some wonderful tools to help us all be better parents and caregivers, especially at those points when we have run out of clever answers to the constant questions, and when we are just so tired we don’t know what to say or do.
So, Amy is going to do a special webinar for us. yay! Here are the details. Sign up and mark your calendars so you don’t forget! I’ll be there too!

    Hopefully I can learn something from this! My toddler pushes me everyday at lunch and supper. I don’t know what to do anymore!

  3. Sunny

    I will be tuning in along with my husband. We have a almost 4 year old and he is an only child. He whines a lot over everything. I have started ignoring him until he can talk to me without crying. My husband is losing patience with him very easy now. I would like to know what it is we can do to stop the whining and more listening on my sons part?

  4. Amanda

    I could definitely use some help with my 3 year old. He is having a very hard time listening lately!

  5. sara

    Looking forward to this as a parent and caregiver, can wait for more tools to place in my toolbox.

  6. erica

    I will be listening. My daughter is starting to not listen to me in places where she is excited to be at and comfortable, like the library. However, that seems to be the place I clam up too and don’t know how to talk to her at a place where we need to be quiet and there is nowhere to escape.

  7. amy

    My almost 4 yr old has realy come out of her “Shy” stage but along with that she seems to not be listening and “minding” us as well as int he past. She also cries/whines as her first response to anything not going her way. I keep telling myself its a phase but its hard to stay patient !

  8. Jen

    Have boy triplets and looking forward to hearing some tips. Thanks for sharing :)

  9. Kwuzilx atkwa Kelhmin

    i plan on attending it sounds interesting. but just in case im too busy.will we be able to view the tips after?

  10. Reian Abdin

    I’ll be tuning in! I have a little boy and he is already testing me! We repeat over and over and I try my best not to only say “NO”. I’m looking forward to learning some tips!

  13. Kathleen

    Looking forward to this. I need to know what to do when toddler thinks “no” means “do it again/faster/harder” and not “STOP DOING THAT” lol

  14. Jaime

    My patience seems to be on vacation lately! My 4 year old daughter pushes me almost to the breaking point some days. Really looking forward to this!

  15. Just one

    I plan on attending.
    I would love some advice on how to discipline kids of different ages and be fair at the same time. I have 3 girls 4yrs (5 in a few weeks) 2yrs (3 a month after the big sister) and a 21week old. With the big girls I find it hard having the same rules with consequences that are fair for both of them

  16. Carmen

    I am looking forward to this webinar. I am really starting to lose patience with my almost 3 year old and I am expecting so I would love to find new strategies other than the good old yelling lol.

  17. Emily

    I just registered and am so excited! We have an almost 3 year old (that’s sounds crazy to me!) and a 1 week old, so transition has been nuts. Lots of ups and downs with a lot of not listening issues. Can’t wait to learn some tools that will help with our parenting?

  18. Maribel Carvajal

    Thank you for organizing this webinar, very interesting topic.

  19. Mia

    Positive and effective discipline without nagging, reminding, or yelling? Yes, please!

  20. Neha

    Im looking forward to it. Love to have few tips n ideas.

  22. Shannan

    I LOVE Amy! I have her book and a few of her ideas have been amazing. My two year old and I have fewer power struggles.
    I would love to be entered in a giveaway. Thank you!

  24. Jennifer Vigilia

    I would love to join, I am a mother of 3 very active boys, me and my husband yell a lot. We always lose our patience in them because we cannot get them to listen, and realised that yelling and nagging was never effective. Hoping this webinar would help us learn new ways on how to get them to listen… :)

  25. Kerstin

    I just RSVP’d – maybe this will help me handle my 2 1/2 year olds pre-nap meltdowns. Ugh!!!!! I yell at her for yelling….oye!

  27. Julie H.

    The timing on this is so perfect! My son will be two on July 13th and he is already pushing the limits as often as he can. The worst part? He’s so darn cute when he does it that my husband and I have a hard time maintaining composure and not giving in. Thanks for this great offer!!

  28. Jennifer

    I’ll be attending with my husband. I tend to be more loud and quick tempered while my husband is more even tempered. The kids recognize this and have started to not listen to me as quickly. I don’t want to continue this cycle of getting louder and louder. It will be good to hear steps to make this easier. :)

  29. Lou fufu

    I am just reaching this stage, fun innit!! Please enter me into the competition :)

  36. JSS

    Looking forward to attending, my husband and I struggle with this issue with all 3 of our kids, especially with our soon to be 12 yr old! It will be good to take some tools away from this.

  39. Kirsten

  44. Nicole

  45. Liz

    I’m attending so I can find some answers on how to deal with my kids.

  53. stacy

    I would love to join in but have plans that evening. Is there any other time or way to get the information? Thanks!

  54. Alexndra

    I’ll be tuning in for some tips for my three year old :)

  56. Kara

    I will be driving to Missouri for a family vacation during this webinar so I will not have access to a computer. Will it be recorded so I could listen to it later? I would really like to hear this info! Thanks!

  58. Marijke

    I have a 3 1/2 year old (plus a 9 month old son) My daughter does not listen. everything has to be asked 2-3 times and more. I’ve tried reward charts and asking once then counting, if I get to 3 she goes into time out. She never gets there but I’m sick of asking and constantly having to count. She does not listen to any instructions, from all the small stuff to the big stuff! I am so over it.. I really hope I get some useful tips from this session.. I have nothing left!

  59. Cortney Jones

    My 4 year old son has a hard time listening. I have a hard time encouraging him when he is being good. It is a loose loose all around. I want to learn how to give real life consequences but also be compassionate. I haven’t quite figured that out yet.

  61. Mary

    With 4 kids under 7, I need all the help I can get! I hope there’s room for me!

  62. Emily

    I’d love some tips to avoid repeating myself and getting to that point where all I can think to do is yell.

  65. Nicole

    I plan to attend. I have no idea how to deal with a kid who just completely ignores me all together and if he isn’t ignoring me, he is talking back. I have tried different techniques, and they work sometimes or for a short while, but we always end up back where we started. Am I the only parent to resorts to picking him up and dropping him in his room and shutting the door? Sometimes it is all I can do because I need a break from the constant battles. I feel like all i do is nag or threaten or bribe. Obviously they don’t work.

  66. Anika Adams

    so what i need! i have 4 4 and under (oldest is almost 5) annd i swear my boys (4 and 2) are pros at ignoring me.

  67. Karlee

    I am so happy to find some help. I have realized with my two step children, and two small children of my own, I have no clue how to be a parent. I do almost everything wrong, and I can not wait to hear some tips on how to get control of my home back. Thank you for doing this. I can not wait

  68. Bronwyn

    My hubby has been away on business so I think I need a refresher in this area!

  70. Vanessa

    I am a mother of 4 and very interested to hear what she has to say!

  72. Cathy Johnston

    I missed the one tonight, will there be another one anytime soon?

  73. Valerie K

    Oh no! I’m in class that day (and it’s a six week physics course… I can’t miss any days). Is there going to be another one? My soon-to-be 3yr old is being a very “boundary pushing” kind of boy these last few months (as children will be) but a calm approach would be awesome! Please let me know if another session will be held.
    Thanks!

  75. Andrea

    I have three boys ages 7 , 3 and 1. Our house can get pretty wild. I’d love some tips on positive discipline.

  76. Chrissy

    I would love to participate, but I won’t be home that evening (Vacation Bible School at our church ends that evening). Is there any way to receive a copy of the webinar afterwards?

    Thanks
    Chrissy

  77. Stacey Leimbach

    Looking forward to this!! I’m sure my kids will appreciate it too

  78. Kimberly

    Looking forward to learning how to get my kiddos to listen better!!!!

  79. Katrina

    Looking forward to the webinar and the information. Hopefully it will give me some tools to deal with my 4 kids (ages 4, 5, 7, 9). Honestly, most of the time they drive me crazy! I’m exhausted by fussing at them all the time. I really want to be able to calm down and relax and enjoy them the way I did when they were babies. Right now, they don’t listen, I have to repeat myself over and over and over. I yell all the time it seems. And I only relax once they go to bed.

  80. Caitlin kay

    My little girl is only 6 months old. But she will be pushing buttons soon enough! I look forward to tips on better parenting without yelling or nagging!

  81. Caitlin kay

    Id like to be entered into your drawings (my email was wrong on my original post but correct on this one)
    Thanks!

  82. nicole mcclain

    I really am hoping I can get something from this webinar! I have having the worst time with my 3 yr old. He has very bad anger issues, yelling, hitting, not listening! My 10 yr old talks back, doesn’t do what I say. We are constantly yelling fighting and arguing!!!

  83. Michelle

    I would like to be entered. I have 3 girls, age; 4, 3 and 9 months. With one on the way!

  84. Lynne

    love your idea for the parents! Affective conversation is essential to let kids know you care. Escalating your voice doesn’t educate children!!

  85. Chris N

    I’m looking forward to the webinar. I have a very active 18 month old boy who occasionally pushes my buttons. I want to start the wonderful journey of parenthood on the right foot.

  86. Shirley

    This sounds great! I am nana raising two grandaughters. One is 6 and the other one is turning 5 on July 27. She is on the lower end of the autisum scale and can be very challenging at times. I am looking forward to any ideas that will help me be able to deal better. They are both precious and I want them to have balance in their life and be able to work problems out in a calm manner.

  87. Steph

    Cant wait for this! New info and strategies are always appreciated

  99. Samantha Amos

    Hi, As with many others I will not be available to view the webnair at this time. Can we view the webinar at another time?

  100. Tessa

    I’m desperate to learn how. Unfortunately that day and time won’t work for me, it’d be great if I can watch at a later time. Please advise if that’ll become available. Thanks.

  101. Lauren Burris

    Definitely looking for some positive ways to communicate with my three year old. He is a feisty one and his little brother is learning his tricks WAY too fast. ;-)

  102. Jen

    Definitely looking for some tips/help in not yelling and having positive relationships with my girls that are more happy!

  103. Amy

    Just signed up for the July 24th webinar. Looking forward to learning how to stop nagging and become a positive role model for my daughter. They learn how to behave by watching us and I want learn healthier ways to communicate with her so she will use these skills when she has kids of her own WAY in the future:)).

  104. Jen

    Just signed up! Hoping to learn some great tips for dealing with my back talking 6 year old son! Excited for this webinar!

  105. Leslie

    I’m going to be out of town that week. Will the webinar be posted online for future reference, or will there be another webinar in the upcoming future? Thanks!

  106. Lena

    Please I need help! I have a 2 year old and a 5 year old and they are driving me insane! I yell at them a lot and the youngest doesn’t even care. He thinks it’s so funny when mommy is angry or when I am desperate to make him behave (like when he wants to run in a restaurant or throw or the books of the shelves in the bookstore). I would love to attend! I’ve been reading a lot about how to make them behave and nothing works, lately I’ve been just praying to God so he can give me more patience. I don’t want them remembering how much I yelled at them.

  107. Kate

    What perfect timing! My husband and I were just talking about how we need to discuss how we will discipline our 2 year old, who is just beginning to push our buttons. Thank you for offering this!

  108. Briana

    This topic has been on my mind a lot. My Husband and I struggle with losing our tempers with our screaming 2 year old. I’ve never attended a webinar before, and I don’t know if my internet connection is good enough. I am interested. Is there a charge?

  109. Bhavna

    I am very interested to learn how to win the negotiating with my 3 year old without nagging and feeling frustrated.

  110. Kim B.

    Will this be available to watch after this date? We will be traveling all day on the 24th.

  111. Angela H

    My children are 18 months apart. I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter and my son just turned 1 a few weeks ago. They get along pretty well, but I am having a lot of trouble getting my 2 year old to focus on simple tasks, especially when she has to clean up. She doesnt listen and sadly, I often resort to yelling at her and sometimes my 1 year old because i get so frustrated. My biggest issue feels like it is spending quality time with both of them, they are on such different levels. I feel like if I could just spend a little more one on one time with both of them, we would all be happier. Are there any hands on activities I can do with both of them?

  112. Marthalynn

    I attended this webinar when my son was born and remember thinking it was fantastic. Now that he’s 2, I’m going to attend again because I’m sure I’ll get so much more out of it this time! Thank you for hosting this!!

  115. Jen T.

    I want to be entered in the giveaway drawing. Also, my 3 year old son has very selective hearing. I don’t like raising my voice, what can I do?

  117. Sallee

    I just signed up! Im so excited to participate in this webinar! I always feel so horrible when I have to resort to yelling, but when they don’t mind its so frustrating!!

  118. Jennifer

    If we would live to hear this webinar but have to work (I work 7pm to 7am) will there be an oPtion to view this later?

  119. Sarah W

    I plan on listening to this webinar tomorrow. I have a pretty advanced 15 month old who constantly challenges me, and I definitely need a sanity saver-one that doesn’t involve drinking a pop after plopping him in bed and devouring cookies to calm down.

  120. Erica

    I had this page open in my browser for a few days before I finally got a chance to read it. I read it the morning of the 25th!! Too late for the webinar! Dang-it!
    Anybody know if there’s a way to watch a recorded version or something? For free?

  121. Kelsey

    I just saw this now. Unless there is another webinar coming up soon, will you please post the information from the webinar on the website. That way it’s available for those that had no idea about it to still get information. Please??

  122. Holli Meece

    I just saw this on pinterest and would be very interested if Amy is offering future webinars. What a great way to get the word out and without traveling:))

  123. admin

    Hi Hollie,

    We have just recently planned another webinar for Oct 25. Stay tuned for more details! :) ~Jennifer

  124. Juanita

    This sounds very interesting. I am always looking for ways to get my 22 month old son to listen to me.It seems like he doesn’t care what I’m saying until I’m not calm anymore!

  125. Pamela Jackson

    Do you get ceu credit if you attend a webinar.I plan on attending regardless but it would be nice since I am a early childhood professional. Thanks for all you do. Pamela Jackson

  126. Missi Winter

    Any advice for the single parent of an eleven year old girl? Please!!!!

  127. Savannah

    I want to attend this webinar!! Please have another one soon! Does it cost? Thank you!
