How Can I Get My Two Year Old To Stop Whining?

Sometimes kids project what they are shown maybe there is a bigger root to the problem than what you realize  a year ago i was depressed  so much that i did realize that i was part of the reason for there overbehavior  so to speak good luck  remember a soft answer turns away wrath

Sit her down and explain to her that she will be ignored when she whines...stick to your guns and do as you say. it won't take long at all. i wish your family all the best!

I'm going though this now you don't have to  pop her , just ignore it and when she see your not responding to whining she will try to explain another way but hold your guns and pay no attention to this and she will stop good luck

I would ask my pediatrician, but if it just started than something might have upset her that she can not explain to you. Does she speak clearly? Sometimes at this age children do not enunciate well and they get frustrated that you do not understand what they are saying, or it could be the terrible two's and a way to control you. Check with your Dr. If there is no physical or psychological  reason for it, then  you need to explain  to  her that you do not respond to whining, and just ignore her when she whines, and tell her that you will see to her when she stops whining. Once she learns that it gets her NO ATTENTION, not even negative attention, she will stop. She may try to start back up from time to time but be firm. I myself could not stand the whining and I did this with my son as soon as he was able to understand. It worked, but I got the idea from a Parents magazine.

I agree with nascarnut, talk to her heart to heart, then have a tickle match with her. After the tickle match, explain to her that laughing is much nicer than whining or crying for attention.
But remember, they don't think about things the same way we do, so you have to talk to her in a manner that she will understand. Hope this helps, good luck.
