Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Your child heard you. So why didn't they move?You asked once in an ordinary, calm voice. You asked a second time with an edge of irritation. By the third time, your voice rose, the room went tense, your child finally got up and moved-and you were left standing in the hallway, exhausted by the person you had to become just to be heard.If this sequence feels painfully familiar, take a breath. You are not failing, and your child is not your enemy.When our children ignore us, delay, or push back, our first instinct is often to label it as defiance. We assume they are testing our authority, and we respond with louder warnings, bigger threats, and rising frustration. But what if "not listening" is almost never a complete diagnosis?In When Your Child Won't Listen, Dr. Huda takes parents beneath the surface of everyday household friction. Drawing on her experience raising four children alongside her academic background in Islamic Shariah, she offers an approach that refuses to choose between firm boundaries and heartfelt mercy.Inside this practical guide, you will learn how to: - Understand what is actually behind resistance: Learn to tell the difference between a child struggling to transition from an activity, a child seeking healthy agency, and a child testing whether a boundary will hold.- Make your first request clearer: Understand why repeating yourself undermines your authority, and how to speak so your words are dependable the first time.- Set firm boundaries without threats: Replace exaggerated, unenforceable warnings with calm, predictable follow-through that actually teaches.- Respond when your child says "no" Hold a clear boundary without shouting, bargaining, or turning the moment into a battle of wills.- Repair after you lose your temper: Walk back into the room, own your mistake with dignity, and restore connection without pretending the boundary never mattered.Grounded in the values of mercy, dignity, responsibility, and accountable leadership, this book offers a way to hold your authority without losing the connection your children need.If you are tired of turning ordinary moments into battles-but you are not willing to give up the boundaries your children need-this book is for you.
