A.B.
Stop her. Say: [ ], you are whining. I cannot hear you when you are whining. And, ignore her request until she uses an appropriate tone. Model the correct tone for her. Say: [ ], this is how you ask for something. Mommy, may I have [ ]. If she is still whining, say: [ ] until you use the proper tone with me, I will not give you what you want. We do not whine in this family. Then, model how it sounds by repeating it or exaggerating it to show her it is annoying. You might have to do this three times or so, but when she realizes she's not getting results by whining, she should stop. Bring it to her attention each time she does it so she can hear the difference. If it continues, I offer a naptime. My children hate naps, and I remind them, oh, you're whining, you must be sleepy. Are we ready for a nap? That usually ends the whining immediately. Let the Moms know if this helped!
