There’s really only so much you can do to train small children to be quiet. My oldest is almost 4 and she’s just now getting to the point where she’s able to be quiet on her own for extended lengths of time. My younger kid is 18 months and when she’s awake there’s basically nothing that can stop her squawking.

We are moving to a house next month with a separate office space on the other side of a 2 car garage from the main house. I am beyond excited.

We taught our toddler that being noisy wakes up his infant sibling from naps, and we tie some of his favorite activities to his sibling's nap time. He quickly figured out how to stay quiet and started scolding us when we made noise. It's not perfect, but pretty good. Straight out of Dale Carnegie, you might say.

My neighbors son is 3 year old

When I am repairing my car/bike, he comes with his bike (small plastic one) and gets under it and starts repairing act.

And he does it for long as I am repairing mine.

It's interesting that I don't live with him but he is copying my action but when I asked his mom if he helps with housework as he probably sees her doing a lot of housework, she said no.

I've no idea why getting under a bike is more appealing to him than doing stuff like cleaning with a mop and bucket.
