Help, my kid is a whiner! - EP1

But whyyyyyy do they whine?! And what do we dooooooo?! When children whine, it can make any reasonable parent feel irritated, and I promise you I have been there, done that, and learned lots. As we dive in to this topic, I want to share a letter with you from a loving, empathetic mama who could use a wee bit of help in this parenting department. There really is a key to stopping the whining long term: take the time to interpret your child's behavior and then respond to it without encouraging more of it. I'll go into what not to do and then give you several discipline strategies that are both gentle and effective. The next time your child whines about something, you'll have a solid plan. I'll leave you with some inspiration to try out a sand tray with your child, a lesson you can do at home with your toddler or preschooler. Come join me as we follow the child and find the calm. Love, Aubrey P.S. You can find the show notes to this podcast, including all resources mentioned RIGHT HERE.
