It is important to set clear boundaries and expectations for your child. Before you issue an instruction, it is important to make sure that your child understands what you are asking of them. Ask them periodically to remind them of the expectations you have set - this will help ensure that they understand what is expected of them. Establishing a respectful and open dialogue with your child might also help, where they feel free to ask questions about instructions if they are unclear on something or come up with alternative solutions together.

The ultimate goal should be to foster an understanding and respectful relationship with your child, rather than having a dismissive or confrontational one which can breed disrespect on both sides. Therefore it is crucial that you act as a model by consistently being respectful even if obeying instructions comes slowly over time through a positive process such as negotiation rather than sheer obedience.

It can be difficult when your child is disobedient and ignores your instructions. Try setting clear boundaries and having consistent consequences when those boundaries are crossed. Establish a pattern of respectfulness that you expect from your child, in addition to providing lots of positive reinforcement when they do follow your instructions without question. Additionally, it might be helpful to remind yourself of your motivations for wanting to raise a respectful child — ultimately it’s about fostering strong, trusting relationship with mutual respect rather than simply enforcing compliance out of fear or obligation.
