Wow! I must be bad at this aspect of parenting. My wife and I decided to do listening charts to for our two older kids. They get a sticker for every time they listen immediately when we ask them to do something. If they fill up the chart they get a reward.
Yesterday, my wife started one for me too. Don't worry, it's not so that I listen immediately to her when she asks me to do something (I'm well trained at that already). It's a reminder to me to listen to the kids before reacting. It also lets the kids know we're in it together. In fact, I made sure my wife has one too--a kissing chart.
