There are times when you need a child to listen without question, for the sake of their own safety, or the safety of others.
When a child runs out onto the street, you yell "stop" and expect they will immediately. You don't let the child run where they please to explore their independance.
But 99% of the time, the situation is not so vital as that.
So how do you teach a toddler with no concepts of differenciating circumstances that its okay to not listen to the parents sometimes, but at crucial times you need to adhere.
How doea a child figure that out?
Would it be best to have a compliant child, or a dead one?
Just pondering strategies.
