The Listening Myth

Your child can hear you perfectly well. The problem is not their ears — it is their motivation. The most common reason they ignore you: they are absorbed in something else. Their brain is locked into play, and your words are competing with a powerful pull.

Their attention isn't broken — it is fully committed elsewhere. A request has to break that spell before it can be obeyed, which is why a call shouted from another room rarely lands.
