My three year old son is having a few problems. He won't listen when I am talking to him and doesn't answer my questions. How can I get him to listen.

Talking to A Toddler

Toddlers respond best to questions that are short and simple. Before about age five, children can answer "where", "what" and "who" questions, but not "why" or "how" questions. Kneeling or squatting down to a child's eye level will give you the opportunity to get the child's attention and allow for a more interactive conversation.
