5 Rules to Get Children to Listen

Establish Age-Appropriate Punishments

If your children don't listen, make sure you give them age-appropriate consequences for their actions.

If it's something related to an object, like a toy that you asked them not to play with, Rabbi Shmuley says you have to take that toy away.
