4 Ways to Deal Whining Child
When the child starts whining when she was visiting the mall or at family events, it seems you want to go home. Unfortunately, this may only be a temporary solution. Therefore, children are usually whining because it wants something and if this is not dealt with firmly, he will continue to do this whenever the opportunity arises.
"The habit of whining will generally become more intense when the child reaches the age of 4 years, and may continue until school age," says Michele Borba, a psychologist. Here are four actions that parents should always keep in mind when faced with a child who is whining.
1. Do not give tolerance
Tell your child that you do not want to hear it unless he wants to talk without whining. You can say firmly, "I can not understand your words that way of talking like that. Tell me what you want in a voice more sweet." Then, walk away or turn away, do not watch the child until he is willing to speak more politely.
"The goal is usually to get a whining child parental attention. Therefore, avoid showing faces upset or serving whining. Remind yourself also that you do not show an expression such as raised eyebrows, frown, or pout. This expression indicates that you noticed his behavior and disturbed," said Borba again.
2. Giving examples of the correct
If children do not understand what a good way of asking, can you give an example. Show your voice when it whines, and then give you an example as well as how you say it better. Ask him to follow you. That way, he will learn that whining does not sound like fun.
3. Praise him when it said in a polite

So finally she can express her wishes better, you need to give a compliment. Remember, she needs a lot of effort to do so. In addition, compliment you can also make it so much wanted to voice their desires in ways that are better than whining. Therefore, say "Well, good. Now you're sounding voice more sweet?"
4. Provide a direct consequence
Children still whining? Drop the consequences immediately and do not wait to go home, when you're in a public place. Immediately stop the activity if it happened at home, or when in a public place where it left off immediately so the child begins to whine. Also, avoid giving the threat that does not make sense because this will only make the child think that you're not really mad at him.
