Silence is Golden

AH-HA! I figured out how to evoke instant silence in a toddler!

Not by saying, “Shhh…” or “Be quiet!” or “Stop talking!”

The secret is to say, “Listen!”

The child’s natural response is to stop prattling and, well, LISTEN, which is a refreshingly quiet activity. Works like a charm when I have to sneak a spunky Lia down the hallway when Vivienne is still sleeping.

    Such an awesome idea…..I needed this today. My 4 1/2 year old is always waking my 1 year old up. Can’t wait to use this on her tomorrow:-)
