(Probably within the next five mins or so , if the morning was any indication of how much she plans on whining today...) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-toddlers-whining-drives-me-insane#post-1602487 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 13:19:57 +0000 LuLu Mom 1602487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my 19 month old has been so whiney lately when she doesn't get her way, even her daycare provider has commented on it. She's been "off" all week...soooo hard to deal with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-toddlers-whining-drives-me-insane#post-1602418 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 13:04:43 +0000 kiddosc 1602418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know the feeling. We've tried the "use your words" and "I can't understand you when you're whining" with some success. But sometimes he's just going to whine. I had to step out of the room during dinner last night before I lost my freaking mind... then all I hear is "Momma, sit down!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-toddlers-whining-drives-me-insane#post-1602408 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 13:02:36 +0000 swurlygurl 1602408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no :( My 15 month old has started whining a lot lately, and it's so hard to figure out what to do about it because she doesn't really have any words to use. I've been trying to teach her signs, but she ONLY uses the sign for 'again', so she signs that for *everything* and then gets mad when I don't know what she wants. "Food, water, toys, milk, snack, upstairs, Daddy?? I don't know baby, learn some words!!!!"</p> <p>I hope it's not a phase that sticks around through 2, because it's already driving me crazyyy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-toddlers-whining-drives-me-insane#post-1602392 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 12:59:31 +0000 Beyond2 1602392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkcupcake: my 19 month olds whining drives me batty, but I'm hoping my patience will improve after I'm no longer pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-toddlers-whining-drives-me-insane#post-1602380 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 12:58:15 +0000 mrsjyw 1602380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is only 17 months and we have already started the "use your words please" to encourage his verbal development and to calm him down from his whiney/tantrums! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-toddlers-whining-drives-me-insane#post-1602374 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 12:56:41 +0000 Freckles 1602374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do the "i can't understand when you're whining" bit too. But we've actually gotten to the point where when she's crying/whining i say, "Please use your words. What did umma say?" and she'll respond, "no whining" :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-toddlers-whining-drives-me-insane#post-1602328 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 12:49:54 +0000 mrbee 1602328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkcupcake: we use the "I can't understand you when you're whining" trick. It really helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-toddlers-whining-drives-me-insane#post-1602317 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 12:48:16 +0000 pinkcupcake 1602317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gaaaaaah. My 2yo is SO, SO WHINY. it drives me crazy. Constantly, all day, she just whines and whines. She can't just ask for something - it's an all-out whine fest each time. I'm trying my best to be patient but today, I think I'm gonna lose my mind. </p> <p>Is this a phase? Anything I can do to encourage her to use a normal voice when she wants/needs something? If I ask her to say it nicely, she starts bawling her eyes out. </p> <p>Ahhhhh. I want a drink :( (and it's only 1045am here. Lol) </p>
