Tutorials to Learn a Basic Skill

Children will naturally do things that are most likely to get attention, so it makes sense to direct your attention to behaviors that you want to see.

A common complaint from parents is that their child just does not listen or do what they ask. Following instructions given by an adult is a skill that is necessary for a successful childhood. Fortunately, there are some things you can do to help build this skill.
