Question

wht do u do with whinning children who dont get their way

Answer 1

depends on the age
toddlers up to 3 y are just frustating because they cannot communicate their feelings, therefore you need to find the wat to understand your son, you need to help him.
Older than 3y, you can talk to him in order to understand.
In both cases Communication is the key.

Answer 2

They are hoping to get a reaction from you, so that way you will give in.

If they notice that their whinning does not get to you then they will (sometimes) stop or they will move on to do something else. EX: Kids have been known to go from whinning to hitting, throwing things, ETC.

You can ignore the whinning but the hitting/throwing things punish them. Do not yell at them. Tell them that hitting is not nice and hurts. Give them a time out.

Answer 3

There's many ways. You could laugh at them, imitate them, ignore them, stand there watching until they look at you for a reaction and say, "Are you done now?", but most importantly, once you've picked the battle, don't give in.

If they do it when you just don't have the time, it's ok to give in once in a while.

Let's say you go to the store, and you know they're gonna want everything they see. Before you walk through the door, say, "You can choose ONE thing. Just one. Once you have your one thing, then it's my turn to do some shopping, ok?" If they agree, you simply have to remind them of their agreement after they've chosen what they want. That way, you can steer them past cheap things, or point out things of interest when you're walking past something expensive, to get them to look the other way, until you get to something you approve of.

Answer 4

I've got three and from what I've learned, whining is just a call for attention. But if it becomes intolerable, tell them very calmly that if they don't stop their whining, you will not listen to them, not pay them any attention, nor give them what they want until they learn to respect you, say what they want nicely and be patient. It worked but it took several incidents that almost made me lose my patience. But they learned. So there's hope. Good luck.

Answer 5

DONT give in. let them know that they will not get there way with that kind of behavior. and stick to it. If they calm down and ask politely and its something within reason, reward there good behavior.

Answer 6

Ignore them. Any response good or bad just reinforces their whining behavior.IF ignored they learn that their behavior is not only unacceptable but really has no benefit/effect.

Answer 7

let them whine, walk away from them. However, you need to praise them when they act good. Really make them want to act good in the future! Hang in there, they will out grow it!

Answer 8

Don't ignore them...they'll keep doing it and it's going to aggravate you and you'll blow. Tell them to stop right away or get a spanking. If they don't stop, spank them. Keep spanking them 'till they get the message. Time outs don't work, revoking privileges doesn't work, just spank them.

Answer 9

Ignore them. They are looking for a reaction.
