Whining :

Ways to deal with the whiny child:

First things first...
Whining is a Symptom


Second: Find the root cause of the whine.

Common Reasons Kids Whine:


      Whining Works – Do you allow them to whine? By giving into the whine, your allowing it!

      Whining Manipulates the Parents Emotions

       Poor Adult Role Modeling – Do you whine? They just might be imitating someone they look up too.

        Lack of Sleep – Enough said!


Make a Simple Statement – When kids whine, say, “I’ll listen when you talk in a calm voice”. The most important part of this solution is follow through. Take the time to wait until you child uses a calm voice. This may take lots of repetition and practice at first.

You can also find the patients for them, they might be whining because your ignoring them!

Remember love and kindness goes a long way with children!
