Behavior

Child ignores you until you shout

The problem You ask five times, then yell, then feel awful.

The hack Walk over, crouch, and touch their shoulder before you speak. Then ask them to repeat what you said back to you. Looking, touching and repeating gets you listened to at a whisper, so you never get to the yelling.
