One of the skills that is very important to a child's success when they reach school age is listening. Your child is at increased risk for learning problems if he or she cannot follow directions, either in the playground or in the classroom. Children will also have a social advantage when it comes to listening.1. Parents should be good listeners
Parents need to show their children that they themselves listen to their children if they want their children to listen to them. If parents respect their children, children will also return the respect they have received from their parents. And as a result, children who get listened to by others also become good listeners.
Surely you will feel extremely uncomfortable if you are talking to someone and they have the expression of absentmindedness, not listening attentively. So are children. Therefore, do not interrupt when your child is telling you a story. First of all, in order for your baby to listen, you need to listen to everything the child says, pay full attention to what he is telling, and do not read the newspaper or talk to others at that time.
Children often imitate the actions of adults and children who receive attention from their parents are very obedient children. When your baby wants to tell or show you something, turn your attention to him.
You also need to listen to the way you speak. You may not realize this, but the communication style your parents used has a big influence on how you communicate. For your child to imitate and follow, you need to pay attention to what you say and how you say it to see if you need to change any habits.

2. Give your baby clear, simple instructions when given daily tasks
Give your child tasks with clear, simple instructions, while incorporating eye contact.
Besides, parents need to pay attention to the use of age-appropriate language when teaching children how to listen. A 2-year-old is only capable of following directions with up to two actions, such as “Put the plate on the table and wash your hands”. By the age of 3, children can remember more things.
Parents can add a chore or two for the child as the child learns to listen better. In this way, besides teaching children to listen, parents also help children become more independent.
3. Give praise when children learn to listen
To praise their child's efforts, parents need to give them timely praise. Show your child that it's special when he first listens well and follows your parents' instructions.

4. Words must go hand in hand with actions
If you allow your child to eat 2 more cookies, it means that you only give them 2, not more than that. If you don't do what you say, next time your child will disobey and ignore your words.5. When children do not listen, it is necessary to have a decisive attitude
You need to show a decisive attitude when the child refuses to obey. Don't give your child a second chance, do exactly what you told them to do. When children understand that their actions can lead to obvious consequences, they will be more inclined to follow their parents' orders.
6. Spend time reading with your child
The time you spend reading with your child also prepares your child to learn to listen in class. Help your child practice at home, as he may have to sit upright for a much longer time at school. During the process of parents reading to the baby, ask the child what happens in the story.
You should ask your child to retell what you and he read together the night before before starting a new story. Ask your child to guess what might happen next based on what he's heard so far when you've finished reading. To teach your child to listen, this is the best time.
If your child is not interested in the books you read to him, do not force him to listen. This will make children become more disgusted with reading.

7. Play games that require listening
By listening to a few songs with your baby, you will make listening more fun as well as helping your child to hear better. When it comes to soft music, you can ask your baby to walk on tiptoe, for example, when it comes to more fun music. As such, children will need to listen carefully to the music to know when to stop. You and your child can take turns asking and answering questions.
