| No Images? Click here  I need help this week. Our kids are deep in the not-listening-to-a-damn-thing phase, both the 3 year old and the 6 year old. My husband and I have tried redirecting, separating them, scolding them, yelling at them… the works. And nothing seems to stick.I don’t want them to grow up in a house where they get yelled at (which seems to be the only thing at this point — a quick, snappy yell — that gets their attention), but I also don’t want them to grow up not listening. To that end, I’ve read some books (here’s looking at you How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk) and subscribe to some newsletters (namely one from Robin McManne and Montessorium), but, like everyone else, I need more guidance.I know, I know, a lot of this is a phase, but I need your help. I feel like all weekend all we did was scold or get annoyed. What’s worked for you? Please tell me you have some tricks up your sleeves?!!? Holler at me at katea@huffpost.com, please and thank you!Yours in parenting solidarity,Kate
