The easiest way to gain the cooperation of your child is to laugh with him. In fact, the more you laugh with your child, the more readily he will follow your instructions, heed your warnings and submit to your guidance. The more you laugh with him, the closer he feels to you and the closer he feels to you, the more he listens. So forget the nagging, lecturing, disciplining, preaching and teaching and instead, find something to laugh about several times a day. The funniest thing of all is how quickly this strategy can turn things around!
