Danish term or phrase: få lyttet til
Hvordan får vi lyttet til børnene, så vi forstået, hvad de vil have og ikke bare lige lytter til ’nå, de peger derop’, så får de et eller andet tilfældigt, man at vi får lyttet ordentligt ind til det.

English translation:listen to [emphatic]
Explanation:
That is some piece of unedited spoken Danish you have there.

'Få lyttet til' literally translates to something like 'get around to listening to' or 'make sure to listen to'. It's used for emphasis in (some) spoken language.

The sentence means:
"How do we really listen to the kids, so that we understand what they want and not just casually catch 'oh, they're pointing at this or that'. Then they'll only get a random response, but we need to really listen carefully."
