A: Many parents face this challenge. Keep in mind that toddlers and preschoolers have very short attention spans. When we tell them to do more than one thing at a time, they often cannot remember everything. It is likely that your child only remembers the first thing you tell him. In this case, you told him to make his bed first, which he did. He may have forgotten the rest. If you give him one direction at a time, it is more likely that he will listen to you and follow your directions.
