Aaron was/is king of selective hearing. I always thought it came attached to the male chromosome
what I do is get down in front of him and make eye contact and tell him what I want. I've done this for years. I don't have to do it all the time anymore, but if he's not listening, I still do it. As his speech got better, I made him repeat my request. She may be able to do that with some words or short phrases. That way you don't have to yell, you know they've heard you, and you know whether punishment is necessary or not. HTH
