If there's one thing parents find hard to handle, it's whingeing behaviour. Find out why your toddler may act this way and tactics to help you keep your cool.
Occasionally, whingeing reflects a more generalised miserable mood - which may be caused by hunger, fatigue or illness. Do all you can to give positive attention to non-whiny behaviour and practise calm refusals until your toddler asks properly in a reasonable tone. If she can't talk yet, you may need to distract her with another activity when the whining starts.
Fears - the dark, the potty, insects, animals and so on.
Anxiety - especially about separation from you or being left with a new carer.
Frustration - being unable to manage or do everything she wants.
Attention - wanting you to spend more time together.
Bumps and knocks - she may be scared by how easily she can be hurt.
