From Whining to Winning: Strategies to Curb Whining

单集简介 ...

Dealing with a whiny child can be challenging, often leading parents to feel overwhelmed. I emphasize that whining is developmentally normal and a sign that your child is still learning how to communicate their emotions. Instead of giving in to the whining, which reinforces the behavior, I encourage parents to adopt strategies to encourage better communication. Today I’ll discuss:  How to recognize and understand your child’s triggers The need to stay calm and to remind yourself that this is a moment that can be navigated without escalating Tips to promote preferred communication The importance of consistency Our podcasts are also now on YouTube.
