Ep #162 The Listening Lab: Wait, You Want ME to Listen First?!

Your kids have selective hearing, right? Like, they can hear a candy wrapper from three rooms away but somehow can't hear "please clean your room" when you're standing RIGHT THERE? Here's the thing nobody's telling you: The reason your kids won't listen has NOTHING to do with your volume, your consequences, or that fancy reward chart you spent 3 hours making on Pinterest. (I see you, crafty parent. I've been there. Mine had glitter. SO much glitter.) The real reason? Brace yourself... They don't feel heard. By YOU. I KNOW. I KNOW. Your brain just went "But Andee, I'M the one talking to a brick wall here!" Stay with me, this is where it gets good. In this game-changing episode, I'm spilling ALL the tea about: Why that mom who came to me with a grunting 14-year-old is now getting hour-long heart-to-hearts (no, really!) The mortifying moment my kid said "Mom, I just need you to listen" and changed EVERYTHING The backwards solution that sounds bananas but actually works (science says so!) How I went from Lecture Queen to Actually-My-Kids-Tell-Me-Stuff Mom But here's the kicker... When YOU master listening first? Your kids start WANTING to hear what you have to say. Like, voluntarily. Without bribes. Without threats. Without you turning into Scary Mommy Voice™. Wild, right? Quick story time: Remember when I told you about interrupting my kid after 18 seconds? (Eighteen! Seconds! The researchers weren't wrong, y'all.) Well, after implementing what I'm teaching in The Listening Lab, that same kid - now an adult, tells me EVERYTHING. The good, the bad, the "Mom, don't freak out but..." And I don't freak out. Because I learned The Thing. This workshop is your jam if: You've said "How many times do I have to tell you?!" in the last 24 hours Your kids' eyes glaze over the second you open your mouth You're SO over being the Nagging Parent™ You're ready to try something that sounds backwards but actually works What you're getting: One simple tool (just ONE! Because who has brain space for 47 steps?) 90 minutes that'll change how you show up forever My "Three L Method" The secret to becoming the parent your kid WANTS to talk to The deets: 📅 Live workshop on Zoom (or catch the replay if bedtime wins) 💰 Just $7 (less than that fancy coffee you need because your kids won't listen) 📚 Digital workbook included (no glitter required) 🎯 Register at: https://cmp.works/listen Look, I could keep talking about the research and the neuroscience and the attachment theory (and I do touch on it because #sciencenerd), but here's what you really need to know: Your kids WANT to listen to you. They WANT that connection. They just need to feel heard first. Backwards? Maybe. Effective? Absolutely. Worth 90 minutes of your time? You tell me - but that parent with the grunting teenager sure thinks so. Come join me. Let's revolutionize your home one listening session at a time. xo, Andee PS - Yes, this works on spicy kids too.
