I had just gotten home from running errands and she was overtired and crabby and wanted to feed me my dinner. I really just wanted to sit and eat. I took her hands, looked her in the eye and said "Mommy is going to eat her own dinner, I understand you're sad but you don't get to whine about it." Then I put her down and ignored her complaining for a good 5 minutes before she gave up and walked over to her toys to play. Longest 5 minutes ever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-respond-to-whining#post-1330659 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 10:49:04 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1330659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i don't respond to requests when charlie whines. i tell him that i can't understand him until he speaks in his regular voice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-respond-to-whining#post-1330658 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 10:48:49 +0000 T-Mom 1330658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get mad.. I'm working on that though. I try to say instead "Please ask nicely" or say something like "I don't respond to whining" ... willing to take tips.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-respond-to-whining#post-1330655 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 10:47:54 +0000 erwoo 1330655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd love to read the responses to this as well! My youngest whines to no end all day long. In some ways I can't wait until he can talk more. That's part of the reason. He says "uh" to everything and after a while it just sounds whiny and my ears hurt. :P I just keep trying to figure out what he wants until he stops whining. I'm getting pretty good at it now. He's 21 months, btw. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-respond-to-whining#post-1330547 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 10:29:35 +0000 autumnlove 1330547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 2 year old loves to whine these days....</p> <p>I want ____!
