Below are two guidelines to safely ignoring children's behavior:

• Be aware of what the child is doing and make sure that she is safe.
• Tell the child that you will give her your undivided attention as soon as she stops the unwanted behavior. For example, say "Amy, I will listen to you as soon as you stop complaining about not getting your way."
