My 27 month old little girl will not stop whining. Every 5 minutes she is crying or whining. I have been off work for about 5 months now and she is now constantly following me everywhere. She will not leave my side. If I get up she gets up, I love her to death but when I need to use the restroom or clean the house this can get a bit frustrating. Also she is whining, not crying whining almost 50 minutes out of 60. When she is happy though she is good to go. We just moved out of my moms house and 700 miles away, so I think she might be depressed. I have no idea what to do please help! Please no negative answers. I love my daughter dearly.
I feel your pain my daughter is 22 months old and she is also a frequent whiner.. She does this high pitch squeal and sounds like a siren... Hers is because she wants attention or she is really sleepy.. My husband just recently quit his job to stay at home with us and ever since he has been home she follows him around like a little shadow and if she sees him putting on his shoes and heading for the front door she starts the squealing.. I think it has a lot to do with just wanting to be around you due to missing you while you were at work... If you find something that really entertains her she should leave you alone... our daughters thing is drawing on paper or letting her watch something like Barney or Elmo on the computer... You just need to find something for her to do that she really likes... Best of luck to you.
join the club. My daughter started the whining at 2yrs and is now 3 1/2 yrs and whines all the time still. It gets to the point where I just have to tell her that I won't listen to what she says unless she says it without whining. It is very frustrating and a little irritating at times, but I do believe they will out grow this. I just tell her that if she wants to tell me something it has to be in a "normal" voice. Usually this works. I really think they just can't help it. There are others in the same boat. Good luck!!
I am sure she might be depressed. She could actually feel abandoned because of leaving your mothers house and she might fear that she will lose you too thus part of the reason she is following you everywhere. The other reason is that she is 2 and half and that is what they do. Mine got worse once they turned 3 and I tell you I want to pull my hair out sometimes because I cannot take the whining.
I know it is hard to communicate with her at this age but maybe sit down with her at the end of the day and try to communicate understanding to her (if her vocab is good maybe try to get out of her what and how she is feeling) This works for me when my 3 (almost 4) year old gets terribly frustrated and he starts whining I try to get him to calm down, sit down and have him express to me what he is feeling.
Please no negative answers. I love my daughter dearly.
