If you've ever wondered why children whine, here's the answer: it's one of the tools a child uses to get what he or she wants.
If you don't want your son or daughter to grow up to be a whiner, you'll need to follow a few rules.
Explain to your child how to ask for something
Try to convey to your child that if he wants to get something, he should ask for it calmly and with reasons.
Don't give in to children's whining
Wait a little, calm the baby down if necessary, but do not start a dialogue until the child has calmed down.
Praise your baby when he asks for something calmly.
Even if you can't fulfill your baby's request, praise him for voicing it correctly. This way you will encourage and reinforce correct behavior.
Try not to shout
Even if you really want to start yelling, try to hold back. This way you will set a good example for him.
And remember: if you say one thing and show another by example, the child will not do what you say. He will do what you do.
