Whining!
My 19 month old has been whining all the time for the past 3-4 days. He has always been so easy going and easy to please and all of a sudden nothing is working. All he does is whine!! Has anybody had any experience with this or any advice? Anything would be great!

Sorry, all I can say is it doesn't stop. My 5 yr old son has been whining for as long as I can remember.

My son is 2.5 and he whines a lot right now. It drives me nuts! This may sound mean but when he starts to whine we tell him that if he wants to act like that then he will have to go sit in his room until he is done. Either he stops because he doesn't want to sit in his room or he ends up going to his room until the whining ends. It has gotten better but he still needs a reminder every now and again.

our son whined from the moment we got him (6 months ago) and i ended it by simply saying "i don't understand you if you don't use a big boy voice. i can not help you without a big boy voice" and refused to give him ANYTHING. if the whining persisted, he went to his room to lay down until he had the energy to be nice.

OK I'm new here, looking around and while I have no advice on this my son is only 13 months. Though I do have one thing to add for yall to think about. Boys eventually become men, men are the MASTERS of whinning. No offense to dads, my husband is an incredible dad, but lets be honest.... they are the MASTERS and well, you can't be the master of something over night. My thought is they start in childhood, infancy working on perfecting their technique.

I agree about the big boy voice. I have a "recovering whiner" :D and he knows that if he starts talking like that, he won't get his petition heard.

My older son whines, hits and bangs his head against anything and everything when he realizes things are not going his way. I also havea younger son and I think a lot of it has to do with jealousy. The youngest eats every 1-2 hours and does not sleep when the older one is awake. He is also at a point where he does not like to be playing on the floor, in a chair or on the couch outside of mommys arms. The older boy is still very loving with tons of kisses and hugs to us both. I get concerned when he starts to get upset because of the many things he does. I also know that the worst is not over yet.
