For ALL PARENTS: If Kids Can Hear Promises, They Can Hear Requests by Cline & Fay Love Day 1/Experiment 1: Sunday, rainy day, Ethan has a friend over so many verbal commands have to be repeated at near yelling volume just to get over the din of hyperactivity and the appear not to listen. -during a videogame that both were playing behind me, while Im watching tv (so there are many factors that could cause a person not to hear me) I announce at just over a whisper I promise we will go to Larrys Pizza sometime during the next month. Result: By the time Larrys Pizza left my lips you could hear a pin drop. The only response...Chase: Can I come? (video game now running by itself unattended). So children can hear a promise stated at just above a whisper, while turned away and a TV and videogame blaring, but they cant hear dont ride the scooter in the house and shut your door at almost a scream.
