Do you constantly Fight your children to listen

Ok. This is very important and will help Parents with their children.  Do you find your self saying DON'T, NO, STOP, QUIT AND SO ON.  Are you tired of saying this everyday all day long, Because I was.  I finally found out that children don't respond well to this.  I found that if you tell your kids what they can do it works a lot better. 

When your child is running and you want them to stop. Say " WE USE OUR WALKING FEET"
If your child is screaming in the house or car tell them " WE USE OUR INSIDE VOICE"
 And so on. The key is to use We don't point their flaws out and what they are doing wrong.  When you are telling them to do this Just remember to not use "DONT, NO, STOP, QUIT, NOT".  This will take practice for you, and your kids will catch on. So just keep at it.  Also when you are saying this don't scream, use a calm voice and say it. 

Did you know that most kids hear the last word that you say.  So when they are running away and your screaming "Don't Run", "Stop Running". All they are hearing is RUN or RUNNING.
