What are some strategies for dealing with whining?

To manage whining:

1. Stay Calm: Respond calmly without reacting negatively to the whining.
2. Address the Underlying Need: Determine what your child is seeking (attention, help, etc.) and address it directly.
3. Teach Alternative Communication: Encourage your child to use words instead of whining to express their needs.
4. Set Limits: Politely inform them that whining is not an acceptable way to communicate.
