Today I was sitting with my toddler, trying to make him learn his school lesson. He wasn't listening to what I was saying, as in his concentration level was low.
At first I tried to talk him out calmly but that didn't help as he firmly kept on saying, "No".
Then, I just scolded him a little. To my surprise, he got angrier. And, I was lost on how to get his attention to work. As, forcing him wouldn't have helped.
Then I said, "Let's play a game. I count to ten with my eyes closed, while you complete the work until I finish counting." He said, "okay!" with a smile. That worked like a magic!
We start accepting Challenges from early age, we work better through them. Teach your child to accept challanges, make them work like that rather forcing them to perform.
