LO is 19-months and will only selectively pay attention to what I say. </p> <p>Want to watch choo-choo (Thomas the Train)?<br /> -Immediate "YES!"</p> <p>Can you pick-up the puzzle piece?<br /> - Walks away and does something else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-kids-listen-to-you#post-1909628 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 15:53:23 +0000 .twist. 1909628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: bahahaha. Selective hearing FTW! </p> <p>As stated above, sometimes, and sometimes not. </p> <p>Do you want to check the zombies? (something I never thought I would ever say to my toddler....)<br /> YESSSSSS</p> <p>Did you poop?<br /> Silence. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-kids-listen-to-you#post-1909618 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 15:52:03 +0000 bpcmarj 1909618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Canoli: you are not alone. We are going through the same thing with our 2.5 year old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-kids-listen-to-you#post-1909435 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 14:51:16 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1909435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: that's a scene from my house!</p> <p>I remember when I first got my son evaluated by EI they kept wanting to test his hearing but it felt so silt because the kid has never had trouble hearing me when I offer him something he wants! I in fact have to be very careful not to say things like TV, DVD, wiggles, candy, chocolate, cracker, and anything else that he loves. So that said I feel like he listens to what I say most of the time but only has radar for certain things. Things that matter to him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-kids-listen-to-you#post-1909421 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 14:46:42 +0000 Canoli 1909421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are having a problem with our 3 year old listening! It's very frustrating and exhausting. Raising our voices gets a big laugh from him. Yes, we feel like a big fat joke! Sigh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-kids-listen-to-you#post-1909378 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 14:28:20 +0000 Cherrybee 1909378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahaha NO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-kids-listen-to-you#post-1909367 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 14:25:26 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1909367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha she's really too little to tell yet (13 months) but if I tell her not to do something &amp; she does it again if I ask "what did mommy say?" &amp; she usually barks at me because I ask her "what does a puppy say?" All the time. I'd count that as listening lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-kids-listen-to-you#post-1909358 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 14:19:57 +0000 Mamaof2 1909358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If he likes the question he will listen</p> <p>Me:Do you want to make smores?<br /> DS: YES!!!!!</p> <p>Me: Can you please clean up the legos<br /> DS: ~silence~</p> <p>Then again DH is the same way - DS must take after him</p> <p>Me: Can you take out the trash?<br /> DH: <code>silence</code></p> <p>Me: want to have sex?<br /> DH: heck yeah! </p> <p> :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-kids-listen-to-you#post-1909354 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 14:16:27 +0000 mrbee 1909354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our eldest usually listens to us, if we get down to eye level and talk to him nicely.</p> <p>Our daughter kind of tunes in and out of reality, so sometimes she just doesn't listen. It's not that she hears us and ignores us - it's like she just doesn't hear it at all! It's been getting better over time though.</p> <p>Do your kids listen to you? </p>
