Question

How to Get a 2-Year-Old to Listen?

Answer

Based on your description, children at this age are typically lively and active, and may require more attention and guidance. Here are some suggestions that might be helpful:

  1. Establish a regular routine so that the child knows what to do at what time.
  2. Use positive reinforcement instead of punishment to encourage good behavior.
  3. Set clear boundaries and rules so the child knows what is acceptable behavior.
  4. Use simple and clear language and instructions for the child to easily understand and follow.
  5. Give the child choices to make them feel in control.
  6. Maintain patience and consistency, and do not overreact to the child’s behavior.
