“How to Get Your Child to Listen To Your Instructions And Respond Positively Without the Struggle!”
I have discovered that you can use the Growth ART Coaching Program to transform your child from uncooperative and get them to listen and respond positively to you.
But before I share more about what Growth ART Coaching Program is,
let me share this interesting story with you.
Jason was a loving father but often struggled with his 8 years old defiant son Jack.
Despite Jack's bright and curious nature he had a stubborn streak that frequently led to conflicts between the two.
One evening as the family sat down for dinner Jason asked Jack to clean up his toys so they could have more space at the table.
However Jack refused and continued playing with his toys ignoring his father's request.
Jason tried to reason with Jack and explain the importance of cleaning up but the boy refused to listen.
Jason grew frustrated and threatened to take away Jack's toys if he didn't comply.
As Jack became more agitated, he began screaming and throwing his toys across the room.
Jason felt overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next.
Imagine this scene being played every single day.
How stressed out Jason is.
Dealing with the pressure in his work and going home to a screaming child who doesn't listen.
Jason knew something had to change.
If not he will grow old 10x faster.
Jason felt like he was losing his son Jack to his refusal to comply.
No matter what he did he couldn't seem to get through to him.
It was like his words were bouncing off a brick wall.
He has to keep nagging or threatening to use the cane before Jack follows his instructions.
Feeling defeated Jason reached out to the Growth Coach at stART Studio.
Together they worked on developing strategies to address Jack's defiance, including setting clear expectations and consequences, using positive reinforcement, and improving communication.
The Growth Coach knew that Jack needed a safe space to express himself, to explore his emotions and behaviors, and to learn new skills.
So they started the stART Studio Growth ART Coaching Program on a weekly basis.
With every brush stroke and every color, Jack began to express his anger and frustration in a non-threatening way.
He was able to identify his own triggers and become more aware of his emotions and behaviors.
The Growth Coach listened to his challenges and empowered him with strategies to self-regulate, providing him with a mindset change that helped him see the world in a new light.
Within just a few months, Jason saw a transformation in his son that he never thought was possible.
Jack became more open and receptive to following rules and boundaries, and his behavior improved significantly.
He has also developed better communication skills, which could help him express his thoughts and feelings more effectively both at home and in school.
Shouting and nagging at home have significantly decreased.
Jason was grateful for the Growth Coach's help and the transformation in his son.
Together they had found a way to connect and help Jack grow and develop in a positive direction.
And because of this Jack has been able to focus better in school, resulting in improved academic performance and grades.
The Root Cause of Why Your Child Is Not Listening To You and How Growth ART Coaching Can Solve It?
As parents, it can feel like a personal failure when our child simply won't listen.
Keep in mind, this doesn't mean you're not doing a good job.
Instead, it's showing your child's natural way of protecting themselves - a basic response to things they think or know could harm them.
When a threat encroaches on our needs, our personalities guide us towards one of three reactions:
These responses are as true for our children as they are for us.
So, when your child seems to be ignoring you…
What you're seeing is just the outward display of these natural reactions.
Their disobedience might be an outright rebellion (a fighter's response), or they might retreat into themselves (the flight response), or they might become unusually absent-minded or distant (a sign of the freeze response).
Keep in mind, kids are still figuring out how to handle their big feelings.
Their responses are not an act of defiance but a cry for help.
They require our support, patience, and guidance to develop the skills they need to manage these emotions.
This is where the magic of Growth ART Coaching comes into play.
By offering a safe, non-threatening space, it allows children to let down their defences and relax.
Once they let their guard down, many positive changes can happen…
They start thinking differently, they get a chance to express themselves, and they realize it's not all their fault.
More importantly, it equips them with the tools they need to manage their emotional responses better.
The heart of the matter is this…
Relationships can quickly spiral out of control when both parents and children are reacting defensively to each other.
Both sides see danger, react without thinking, and upset the other, creating a harmful loop that just makes the problem worse.
Understanding these issues is the first step.
But if we understand these issues and give our kids the right skills, we can stop this loop and create a better, more understanding relationship with them by doing Growth ART Coaching.
What is Growth ART Coaching Program?
As a parent, it can be heartbreaking to watch your child struggle with difficult behavior and poor listening skills.
That's where Growth ART Coaching comes in.
Our program is specifically designed for children between the ages of 5 and 12 who may be facing challenges in school and at home.
At our stART Studio, we provide a supportive and nurturing environment where children can learn to regulate their emotions, develop self-control, and improve their social skills.
Using art as a medium, we create a safe space for each child to unleash their unique inner artistic potential.
It's amazing to see how art can help children express themselves in ways they may not be able to do with words.
And as they explore their thoughts and feelings through the process of creating art, they can learn to better manage their emotions and behaviors.
This will in turn let them focus better in school, resulting in improved academic performance and better relationship with their parents.

Amazing results from our students
Jaz Lai, Father of Jonas (10 years old with Asperger)
"When my son Jonas was diagnosed with autism, I was scared and confused."
Hello, I’m Jaz and I'm here to share my experience with Elfin.
I didn't know what to do or where to start.
My son was having a hard time in primary school. Then I met Elfin, and she has been a lifesaver.
Elfin has been working with Jonas on a weekly basis to help him realize his talents and potential.
As a result of her unique activities and exercises, I am able to see changes in Jonas on a monthly basis.
His teachers have given us wonderful feedback about his behaviour in school, and I am so proud of him.
There are times when Jonas can be disruptive due to his condition, but Elfin is always understanding and patient with him.
She has provided us with so much support, guidance and love.
I cannot thank Elfin enough for all she has done for us.
She is a true blessing, and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for help with their special needs child.
Thank you, Elfin!
Rylyn, Mother of Yu Han (7 years old with Autism)
"Their approach is not only encouraging, but also incredibly empowering and patient."
Elfin has truly been a remarkable support for my child with special needs.
Their approach is not only encouraging, but also incredibly empowering and patient, which has made all the difference in my child's progress.
Despite the fact that we reside in the East and the commute spans a lengthy 1.5 to 2 hours each way, Elfin's dedication has made every minute of travel worthwhile.
It's a testament to their exceptional skills that my usually impatient child eagerly anticipates the long MRT journey every time I mention our visit.
I can't help but give a resounding thumbs up to Elfin for their outstanding commitment and impact.
Mrs Tan, Mother of Kai Jie (scored >99.9% percentile for IQ Assessment)
"My 3-year old son has shown remarkable development thanks to the program."
The transformation is significant; he's now more 'advanced' in his understanding and articulation for a child his age.
I was utterly surprised when one day, he volunteered to explain how volcanoes are formed.
And it wasn't just a jumble of toddler words.
He articulated it clearly, using his own simple terms that were appropriate for his age.
It was a proud moment as a parent, seeing my little one confidently expressing complex concepts.
This program is indeed a fantastic tool for early learning and development.
Vivienne, Guardian of Nur (5 years old with self-esteem issues)
"In just five months of joining the program, we've seen a tremendous transformation in our daughter, Nur."
Previously, she was a bit shy, particularly when it came to interacting with older children.
Now, she confidently engages with them, unfazed by their age or size.
It's a stark contrast to her earlier hesitations and one that fills us with pride.
Moreover, the program has brought about a significant shift in Nur's overall demeanour.
She's happier, more vibrant, and her warmth radiates to everyone she interacts with.
She's become outgoing, unafraid to express herself or to step out of her comfort zone.
This change in Nur, her newfound confidence and joy, has been one of the most rewarding aspects of the program for us as parents.
It's a joy to see our child thrive, and we can't wait to see how she continues to grow and flourish with the program's guidance.
Chen Yin, Mother of Shane Ng (4 years old with Anxiety)
"This programme is both intriguing and worthy of high praise."
The coaching is personalized to fit each child's unique needs, and that makes all the difference.
My son, Shane, has some issues with anxiety.
The teachers in this program have shown him nothing but care and attention.
They've made a point to understand and cater to his needs, providing a supportive environment where he feels safe.
Over time, I've seen Shane's confidence grow steadily.
He's starting to come out of his shell, and it's beautiful to watch.
The program isn't just about academic learning; it's about helping children like Shane to trust in themselves and their abilities.
What makes this program stand out is its interesting approach.
Using therapeutic art to help children learn and grow is not something you see every day.
Yet, it works wonders. Shane enjoys the art activities and doesn't even realize he's learning through them.
This program is truly commendable for its innovative approach and its caring, attentive staff.
Poh Lian, Mother of Kayden Yoo (in Gifted Education Programme)
"Kayden's educational journey took a leap forward under Ms. Elfin's guidance."
Her program provided him a robust foundation in expressing himself.
The results were beyond our expectations. Kayden didn't just learn; he excelled.
Today, he thrives in Rosyth's Gifted Programme, a testament to the solid groundwork laid by Ms. Elfin.
He's not only keeping pace but outperforming, showcasing his strong linguistic capabilities.
We are grateful to Ms. Elfin for her role in Kayden's academic growth, and we credit her program for setting him on this path of exceptional learning.
Mrs Lin, Mother of Jaeden Lin (in Gifted Education Programme)
"At 22 months old, he had yet to utter a single word. As a parent, you can imagine my worry and my heartache."
My child, Jaeden, was a late talker.
I yearned to hear him speak, to communicate his thoughts, his feelings.
Then, we discovered the Elfin’s Programme.
After a mere six months in the program, the change in Jaeden was nothing short of miraculous.
My once silent boy was not only speaking but reading - in both English and Chinese, no less - by the time he turned 3.
It was an incredible, tear-inducing moment to hear him read out loud for the first time.
And Jaeden didn't stop there. By the age of 5, he was reading over 800 Chinese words.
I could hardly believe it - my little boy, reading primary school textbooks, years ahead of his peers.
It filled my heart with so much pride and joy.
I couldn't have asked for a better outcome, and it's all thanks to Elfin.

Inner Feeling Cards - To help your child develop empathy and build better relationships with people...
First they need to know how to recognize and express their feelings.
But expressing feelings may not come naturally to all children, especially children with special needs.
This is why we created these special sets of Expression Cards for you, to help your child identify their emotions.
Why is it important for your child to know how to express their feelings?
When your child falls into a pattern of emotional suppression where they can't express themselves well.
Their first reaction is usually frustration and outburst.
Kids who understand their emotions are less likely to act out by using temper tantrums, aggression, and defiance to express themselves.
A child who can say, “I’m angry at you,” is less likely to hit.
And a child who can say, "That hurts my feelings," is better equipped to resolve conflict peacefully.
So if you start your child early by letting them know how to express their feelings, you are cultivating long-term emotional well-being in them.
Teaching your child about his emotions will help him become mentally strong and have the coping skills to deal with them are more resilient.
