When your kid is below one year and the kid is not listening to your words and not reacting to the sound then there is a possibility that your kid may have a medical condition regarding hearing loss or post-natal deafness.

You just need to see whether your kid notices any sound. You are likely to consult the doctor and let them check the condition.

2.    Different understanding of real meaning

You must have noticed many times that you want to tell something to children and the children understand something else. Because the children may not be able to understand the words as per your understanding.

Whenever you are talking to children, be alert and use words that they can understand quickly.

Explain everything in a very simple way. The simpler you keep things; the quicker children will understand.

3.    Rapport building

Just like you build rapport with people in the society, like you talk with your friends. You are not likely to build rapport with your children in the same way you connect with society and friends.

If you are doing this then your children do not connect with you and not listen to you.

You should build a rapport with your children. The better you connect with your children, the easier you talk to them, the easier you understand them, and if you listen to them, they will also start agreeing with you with ease.

Timing is an important thing. If you tell your children anything at any time when they are playing or engrossed in fun, then your words are useless.

7.    Over-caring or hyper focus

Every parent takes care of their kids and keeps focus on them, but if parents are over-caring or keep an eye on them every time, then the child may get irritated and you will seem like a thorn to them.

Hence it is important to give them some freedom. To increase their confidence, let them be allowed to do some work on their own.

8.    Nagging

You keep nagging your children a lot or you keep telling them something or the other again and again or ask them to do something again and again. Your children do not listen to you because they get very irritated as they are very sensitive.

Your children don’t like this nature and are likely to get rid of you as and when they get the opportunity.

9.    The way

If you want good parenting of your children, then you will have to learn how to talk to them. If you can’t treat them the way you treat elders, it will not work because of which your children will not listen to you.

It is also possible that if you tell them too many things at once or give too many instructions at once, they may not even be able to remember, that is why you will have to think like them and talk like them, only then you can see the positive results.

10.   Lack of skill and ability

If you expect anything from your children to do any work, then it may happen that the child may not be proficient in that thing, he has a lack of skills and ability to perform the task.

As a result, they will not listen to you and will stay away from doing that thing. They will keep running away and start putting it down.

You have to understand and at that time it will be your responsibility to nurture and train them.

Nowadays, it has been found that due to lack of time, parents are not able to guide their children properly nor are they able to teach them anything well, due to which children are not able to understand who they should listen to and how they should behave with whom.

12.    Kids don’t want to stop doing

If children like to do anything whether it is a good habit or a bad habit. If you want to convey to them to leave a bad habit then you have to tackle them cautiously.

You have to understand them and also make them understand. This is probably It may be difficult for you, but as a parent, you must prevent them from doing anything wrong.

13.    Fear

If you do not connect well with your children nor are you close to them, then it may happen that whatever you ask them to do, they do not want to tell you about the fear of executing that task, due to which they ignore you and don't listen.
