whinny 1yr old twins...HELP!!!?

Question

I have 13 month old twin boys and I don't know what to do to make them stop whinning ALL THE TIME!!! I feel like I do everything I can for them, and I don't think that I over indulge. (How can I when there are two of them!!!) They seem to be good when they are with other people but the minute I walk into the door they whine, and whine and WHINE! What can I do?

we have been to the doctor about ear infections etc...not it!!!

Answer 1

Ignore them entirely and just remind them once that you will not give them what they want if they chose to act like that, it's not acceptable. Sounds mean, but they will learn quickly that you will only respond if they ask for things politely without whining or screaming.

Answer 2

I say just try to ignore them if its not a serious problem, if that doesn't work start taking away things they really love, like cartoons or coloring books, for example they ask : Mommy can we watch sponge bob? Only let them if they haven't been whining, if they have been you have to tell them NO because mommy asked you to stop whining and you still did, we'll try again tomorrow. I went through this with my 10 year old, worked like a charm!

Answer 3

Are they getting enough sleep? Do they have an early bedtime, 8 pm at the latest, and are they taking at least one nap a day? They should be getting an after lunch nap at least, but they really need one in the morning as well. Sounds like they are overtired and need to get more sleep. If they are getting plenty of sleep, you need to just put your foot down and tell them to stop whining. Set up your pack and plays in separate rooms with no toys in them. Once you tell them, give them a small chance to stop and if they don't put them in the pack and plays and leave the rooms. They need to know that this bad habit is not going to be rewarded with any kind of attention, negative or positive. Only go get them when they have calmed down, slowly count to 10 after the crying stops, stop counting if they start crying again, get them up and let them go play. If they start to cry when you walk back in the room to get them, silently leave the room again and wait for them to calm down again. Do not get them up if they are crying or whining. Wait until they stop. They need to learn that you want this behavior to stop.

Answer 4

You just answered your own question. You said "I feel like I do everything I can for them" You don't give a toddler everything they want just because they whine. My sister has twins (a boy and a girl) and they are 4. They still WHINE like nothing else. My sister has NO life, because she LIVES to please her kids. It's one thing to teach them right from wrong, and love them. But it's QUITE another to run to every calling demand. They are NEVER going to learn to fend for themselves if you keep doing this. They are going to depend on you till you're gone. It is a parents responsibility to teach their children to be independent. If you don't, what will happen when you are gone?

Answer 5

they will grow out of it. They all act up for mum but are good as good for others. it's because they want your attention. And when there are two of them they compete as well. It drives you mad insane bonkers arrrgggghhhhhh!!!!!!!!

Mine are 3 and a half and doing my head in. I take them to mother and todler groups and luckily they have started preschool too so they burn som eenergy off and mix with other children.

There's not a lot you can do at that age other than distract them in some way. I know how difficult it can be with 2 of them, I've been there but trust me, when they get more independant it does get easier.

Answer 6

There somewhat is not any proper answer on your question. even if to vaccinate or no longer or which vaccines to get is a noticeably own remember. you should talk this with your health practitioner who can grant you with the info about each and every vaccine and the disadvantages linked with getting the ailments they are designed to guard your new child from. i wager, finally, you want to ask your self the question with each and every of the ailments, will or not that is fantastic if my new child receives this ailment? what is going to your criteria be for bare minimum? merely ailments that your new child might want to die from or ailments that would reason handicaps? per chance it might succeed to study each and every man or woman ailment and make execs and cons about getting the ailment and the prospect of having it. i'm mom to 4 children who all received the full counseled dosages of each and every of the immunizations. They were all healthful, lively, and robust at a million 12 months, too. no longer something is 100% needed to be vaccinated adverse to, yet there are probably some ailment with better probability than others.

Answer 9

well, i hope ur married but to the point, yell at them! I mean, parents now (im not one, just ... idk how i know this stuff lol) are always like "dont do anything that will hurt the kid. let them burn the house down then ground them for an hour.........." yell at them! that straightened me out when I was that age. and when they get older to handle it, beat them! Okay, dont beat them. thats child abuse. but spank them! dont give them the message that they're in control. and... if they're young enough, dont those things that you put in a baby's mouth... o crud whats it called..... anyways, try that. lol.

Answer 10

With twins, usually what one does the other does. If one of them is upset about something the other will usually get upset too--even if they don't know what they are upset about.
