She is 2 and 1/2 and every question she asks is in a whiny voice how do I get her to use her manners and ask nicely?

Tell her to use a "talking voice"; and that you don't like whiny voices. Model the appropriate voice to use, and then if she continues to whine, ignore her request, or tell her "I don't listen to whiney voices, use your talking voice". It works.

At 2 1/2 ???? When you get that solved, my dear, you will become a millionare. Every kid whines at that age. The manners and asking nicely will come into the picture in a few more years.

when you're operating all day and then get is going to mattress at 6:30 i imagine it really is what the reason of the whining is. He misses you and needs to spend better time with you, except you get homestead somewhat early. once you're going out and in telling him to sleep it really is his way of getting to verify a touch better of you. i ought to spend somewhat better time retaining him wide awake, perchance yet another a million hour and then see how that works for you. tell him that you'll enable him not sleep a touch longer and if he ought to correctly be quiet at bedtime you'll study him an better tale. he will probable nonetheless cry before each and every thing, even if it isn't as lengthy and finally it is going to offer up.

stop answering her until she uses a normal voice tone. and tell her why you are not answering her. If the whiny voice works for her why would she change? Show her that it doesn't.

get eye level she her, and in a calm and clear voice tell her to ask in a "nice voice", then answer her back in a clear voice, if she throws fits when she doesn't like the answer, just stay calm and tell her sorry i don't listen to fits, you can talk to me when you are ready to be nice again, and walk away from her, give it a few days, but when she realize she isn't going to get a reaction for you, it won't be interesting to do anymore

Usually, she would whine because she is in a negative mode. Tell her that you understand she is "upset" and that's ok to be. But, if she ask questions normally then you'll understand easier and you can find a solution for her (of course in easier words).

I see she is going through the terrible two's syndrome, what they want everything their way or it's the highway. Since she likes to whine, let her do the whining, and start ignoring her. When she see you're not going to feed into her tantrum, she will straighten up.

this MIGHT work...don't respond to her if she uses that voice. It's very difficult to negotiate with a toddler, but they can respond to positive and negative feedback. Try a positive feedback of a reward and negative of ignoring her wishes...good luck!

Ignore her and remind her that she needs to talk in a big voice. Model the way you'd like her to talk. She'll otugrow it.

all toddlers do that, she will out grow it. explain to her that it's unacceptable to speak in that voice, maybe reasoning with her will make her stop.
