you get little ones to do as they are told by taking them by the hand and doing t with them....
when you stand over a child and say "Go clean your room" and then wonder why they don't you get frustrated and so do they...
But if you take them by the hand and say "Come on we are going to clean your room" you get the job done and they get to spend time with you and learn the skill of cleaning a bedroom at the same time....
whatever it is you want them to do the most effective method is take them by the hand and lead them to do it..

How old is your little one? It took ALOT of work when I was a child to get me to do what I was told. I either got alot of spankings or "grounded" or no dessert! But everytime I did something I wasn't supposed to do, or I did it the wrong way, I was told that...no matter HOW many times I did it that day. My mom always stressed the importance of behaving & listening to her:) Hope that helps some!

Depending on how old she is...
~Time outs
~Explaining why she has to do it
~Realizing she knows when she isn't behaving and making sure she knows you know she knows (if that makes any sense)
~Making her do what she is told physically (no, not beat her... get off your @$$ and do it with her... If she isnt sharing, tell her she has to share and her brother can use the lego too and make her let him use them... If she throws food, take it away from her until she is willing to eat without throwing it... etc etc)
~Put her down for a nap when she misbehaves
~Spend more time with her, it could be for attention

u must know when to give and take. excess giving in will lead to a spoiled child. Do punish her when is necessary. This will give her the impression that she cant get off easily if she doesnt listen. Do give her some small rewards if she does her things well. In short, bribery is the best way out. :-)

Give her no choice. Do not fall into the trap of saying, '"Well alright". Be firm and consistent. My grandson refuses to hold the hand of either of his parents when we are out. I simply say, "hold hand" and he does. I do not confuse him with a lot of unnecessary instruction or explanation of why. Simple, concise, and to the point. Children appreciate knowing what is expected and will do just what is expected as long as it is consistent and not confusing.

With alot of love and patience. Be consequent but don't over do it. Remember children have a short attention span, so it helps if you help her to full fill her task whatever it is.

Who's kinding who here? I never could get my ex-husband trained. Duct tape is the best!!! ....set play time aside with you. reward her with "extra" special stuff....like...a refrigerator box. run duct tape around it and play tunnel with her .... take some can goods out from under the cabinette and play "store" with her. I could go on, but this type of playtime is the best time to teach them to listen... my best and have fun. Kim Marie

wait for her to grow up..=0)...j/k
Try kneeling down to her level. Look at her directly in the eyes when you speak to her. Spend extra time with her/him, always look them in the eyes when they are talking to you as well. See if you don't see any improvement? Maybe she is looking for a bit more attention?? She/he will take it anyway they can get it.

Offer choices...For example:
If you want her to pick up her toys and she refuses or whines and doesn't want to do it...
say - "You have two choices..You can pick up your toys and then pick out a book for us to read together....or .... you can leave the toys out and I will pick them up. If I have to pick them up, they will be put in "time-out" from you for the rest of the day. So...you get to decide... Pick them up now and play with them again later....or don't pick them up, and lose them for a whole day.
This works well, especially with children in age from 3 to 8 yrs.
It has worked really well for my children.
