Does your kid refuses to listen to your instructions e.g don't touch the stuff until you raise up your voice? I don't like to do so but what else i can do to make my 5 years old kid listen to me?

When we give instructions repeatedly and raise our voice at our children we are teaching them delayed obedience. It occurs when they know that the first time you say anything, you don't really mean it. Only when you raise or voice or start to get angry then they begin take you seriously. Hence as parents we should only give instructions once and bring a significant consequence to disobedience. That way they know when we mean it and only give instructions once. It will take a lot of patience and determination. I think it's us parents that this method is training. Haha. http://www.familyministries.com/how_we_accidentally_teach_disobedience.htm
