Parents are you ready to end the whining wars in your house?
Does it starts with a whimper, an insistent demand, or a certain tone of voice that every parent recognizes with dread—your child is starting to whine, and if you don’t respond properly you’ll have a full-blown tantrum or argument on your hands. Kids of all ages know that whining works when they want the extra hour of TV, the unplanned toy purchase, or a later curfew. But stopping such behavior without giving in to a child’s demands isn’t easy, and if left unchecked, whining can lead to constant disruptions at home, in school, or anywhere else your child chooses.
I have found a fast read and to-the-point book for you. Here are some items it list:
¨ The best ways to react when your child whines in a public place
¨ Why negotiating and giving in never work and what you should do instead
¨ What kids are really trying to tell you when they whine
¨ Why whining can lead to poor self-esteem and unsatisfying social relationships-which can follow your child into adulthood and what you can do about it now
¨ How to clearly, respectfully indicate to your child what’s important to you and why whining will no longer work as a means of communication.
The name of the book is Whining
Authors: Audrey Ricker PH.D. & Carolyn Crowder PH.D.
I would love to hear your feed back on the book!
