Turn Down the Volume and Be Heard By Your Kids

Ever feel like what you’re saying to your children goes in one ear and out the other, totally unprocessed by the brain?

Jackie Dryden, (also know as ‘Just Jackie’), child advocate and author of “Just Me: What Your Child Wants You to Know About Parenting”, has a powerful tip for getting our kids to listen:


TURN THE VOLUME DOWN! That’s right – Whisper!

This is the opposite of what we normally do, which is to raise our voice to make sure we’re heard. But Dryden says the opposite is true.

“When you whisper, they have to stop and pay attention to hear you. It’s an amazing tool for great communication.”

“I get the most email, phone calls and letters about this tip,” she says. “I haven’t had one person tell me that it doesn’t work.”

Whispering trains your children to listen to you. It also works in the workplace, or with your spouse.

“When you whisper, they have to stop and pay attention to hear you. It’s an amazing tool for great communication.”
