Nothing
seems more annoying than a whining child, even when it’s your own kid. Here are
some methods for cutting down on the turmoil—and maybe ending the whining for
good:
•
Teach them appropriate behavior. When children whine, tell them to ask for what
they want without tears or hysterics. Then teach them how to accept your answer
without whining as well.
•
Don’t give in. Children shouldn’t get what they want when they whine. If it’s
something they legitimately need, have them wait five minutes before asking you
for it again.
•
Keep a united front. If you decide to ignore a whining child, then make sure
your spouse/partner and relatives do the same.
•
Reward improvement. Keep track of your child’s ability to ask for what he or
she wants without whining. Keep the chart in his or her room so both of you can
focus on your child’s improvements.
