Developing Listening Skills

Do you have trouble getting your kids to listen to you? Listening is such an important skill, yes it is a skill that can be developed! Here are a couple of ways to help your child become a better listener.
1. Have family members close their eyes for two minutes and then describe every sound they heard.
2. Make a game out of seeing how many directions a family member can follow without being reminded. For instance, give three directions (get a glass from the cupboard, take it to the bookshelf, hide it behind the fourth book). The sillier the directions, the more fun it is. Activities like these will sharpen your child's listening skills and help him/her follow directions in school.
