We called it the "Obedience Game" The first time we tried it I told our children to go to their rooms and bring back a pair of socks. I then told them to put the socks on their left hand. I was sure they would question me or at least look at me like I was crazy but they willingly, promptly, and cheerfully obeyed. I repeated this a couple of times and they added (with help and lots of laughs) more socks to their hands and ears. That night we had fun learning and growing together. I recently felt the need to repeat this exercise during a visit with Grandma. Grandma was surprised to see how easily their attitudes were changed and that the lesson wasn't lost the next day. The "Obedience Game" is a fun and entertaining way to train children to willingly, promptly, and cheerfully obey their parents.<BR/><BR/>Amy Ball of Phoenix, AZBlessed3xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05394790964668954517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4166507080024269352.post-18121606888634013762008-05-21T09:07:00.000-04:002008-05-21T09:07:00.000-04:00We played this game, too!

But Mom, with her thousand words a day kind of drowned into the background noise of daily life. When that would happen, we'd play this game. We call it "Mama Says," because after all, who <I>is</I> Simon anyway? --PeggyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4166507080024269352.post-88956563842546092402008-05-21T03:08:00.000-04:002008-05-21T03:08:00.000-04:00Thank you, Marilyn, for writing about how you trai...Thank you, Marilyn, for writing about how you train your children. I have gotten so much encouragement and help from the little article you posted on your web site about disciplining/training your children. I hope you remember the one I am referring to. I appreciate your willingness to write and share. My husband and I have tried your obedience exercise over the last few years and my kids enjoy it. I have even used it when I was teaching a childrens class.<BR/><BR/>Kari Casteel of ArizonaKarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15764806535621517073noreply@blogger.com
