I can't take it anymore. I have one unmentioned child who has an excessive whining problem. I'm talking to the point of meltdown. This child whines about snacks, whines about what to do, whines about what to wear, whines about what is for lunch, whines about what is on TV. This bad habit must be stopped. Let me reiterate that this is a Good child with a Bad habit.
Begin experiment A
We'll call it "Break the Whining Habit During Spring Break or Mommy is Having Herself Committed."
Actions include. . .
Stopping the child EVERY time whining takes place and CALMLY saying " I would love to listen to you when you can ask me in a normal voice." After being asked in a normal voice I will respond with "Good, now I would be glad to help you."
Also, hubby will be schooled in the ways of dealing with said whiner.
After experiment A has been tested for one full week, feel free to approach me and let me know how my results are fairing.
Experiment B involves thumb sucking and TWO children. That's a whole new post.
