Dealing with a whiny child can be challenging, often leading parents to feel overwhelmed. I emphasize that whining is developmentally normal and a sign that your child is still learning how to communicate their emotions. Instead of giving in to the whining, which reinforces the behavior, I encourage parents to adopt strategies to encourage better communication.
Today I’ll discuss:
How to recognize and understand your child’s triggers
The need to stay calm and to remind yourself that this is a moment that can be navigated without escalating
Tips to promote preferred communication
The importance of consistency
