whinning How do get them to stop??

I'm in the same boat, my 6 yea old whines a lot to, time outs don't work, taking stuff away doesn't work. So now whenever she whines I tell her that I can't tell what she's saying. Problem is I'm not consistant enough. Our neighbor's son, same age, whines just as much. Hopefully they'll outgrow it. So yeah, try to ignore it, is my best advice, it's what I'm doing.

My 5 year old son is the same way. He talks and talks and whines and whines. I do explain him what's goin on and most of the time I get tired of it because he alwasy have an answer for everything. So what I do is I take things away from him. Like having friends over. I tell I wouldn't let his friends come over if he won't quit.

I too had a whiner- She is 10 now.. Nothing worked! She whined all the time- I don't even think she realized she was doing it- It was just in her voice... Finally-- she stopped.. I told her that I wouldn't answer her or even pay attention to her if she couldn't talk in her BIG girl voice without whining- So I ignored her- (unless she was hurt).. mommyyyyyy... I'd not answer-- slowly she stopped whining so much! Oh I hope this works for you! I know how bad it was when my daughter whined! good luck!!!

My son used to whine about everything all the time. I tried time outs, taking stuff away, not letting him watch tv, everything. Nothing worked. Then one day I just ignored him. Every time he started to whine about something I would say "I hear someone whining, I better go (whatever I thought would sound fun to him)" and I would walk away. After about 4 hours of my walking away from him to do something else, he stopped whining that day. The next day it only took about 2.5 hours for him to stop whining and by the end of a week, he stopped whining altogether. Most of the time, whining in small children is just a way to get your attention. The more you respond to it, the more she will do it. One parenting book I read said to ignore them for the most part and it will stop. It worked for me. Granted my son was 4 at the time. How old is your daughter? I do know that when my kiddo was younger, his whining got worse the more tired he was. One way that I was able to stop the whining when he was younger was to put him down for a nap as soon as he started whining about anything. I know that my son only had temper tantrums a few times. One time I got so fed up with his tantrum that I threw myself on the floor and had a fit too. He was so shocked that his tantrum stopped right then and there. He thought I had gone crazy. He told my husband that night that "Mommy had a fit and needs a time out". It was so hard not to laugh about it. But he stopped having temper tantrums. Different things work with different kids. I hope that something works for you.
