Manage the Whining Toddler

I’m going to toot my own horn for just a minute. (Every mom should now and then.)

My post, Manage the Whining, is GOLDEN!

I got to practice it with my 15 month old recently.

His whining had gotten terrible! He wasn’t cute with me anymore. His only communication with me was crying until I did what he wanted. And I wanted to cut out my own eardrums.

I kept telling myself it was just a phase, but I was lying.

I was the one that had let it get out of hand. I was giving in every time he whined, just to make it STOP!

So, I took my own advice. (Here’s the link again, just in case.) 🙂

Two days.

That’s all it took to completely change this kid!

It was not an easy two days. I spent most of the first day sitting outside his door waiting for him to calm down. But it was totally worth it!

He has turned back into such a fun kid! I forgot how cute and playful he could be.

 

So, review Manage the Whining, give it a try and let me know how it goes! 🙂
