The PedsDocTalk Podcast: Child Health, Development & Parenting—From a Pediatrician Mom

From Whining to Winning: Strategies to Curb Whining


Listen Later

Dealing with a whiny child can be challenging, often leading parents to feel overwhelmed. I emphasize that whining is developmentally normal and a sign that your child is still learning how to communicate their emotions. Instead of giving in to the whining, which reinforces the behavior, I encourage parents to adopt strategies to encourage better communication.


Today I’ll discuss: 

  • How to recognize and understand your child’s triggers
  • The need to stay calm and to remind yourself that this is a moment that can be navigated without escalating
  • Tips to promote preferred communication
  • The importance of consistency

  • Our podcasts are also now on YouTube. If you prefer a video podcast with closed captioning, check us out there and ⁠subscribe to PedsDocTalk⁠.
