My 4-yr old complains about everything. We haven't spoiled her. We set boundaries, she has excellent manners, but for some reason, it seems lately that absolutely nothing is good enough for her.
I run her bath, it's too hot. I run her bath, it's too cold. Her teacher hands out candy, she complains she didn't get the pink piece. We go to the play area in the mall, she complains when it's time to leave. I buy her the Cinderella costume she's wanted for months and she complains that it's itchy. I give her a banana with her breakfast, she complains that there's a brown spot on it. I give her an apple the next day, she complains that I left some of the peel on.
Does anyone here have experience with a chronic complainer? She doesn't get it from her dad or me. We have told our parents to stop sending any goodies for a while because she's just too ungrateful. Apart from that, what else can we do? Her teacher and we are tired of hearing constant complaints. Thanks much.
