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.
 
Just give her love, my daughter is whining too...I think it is just a phase. and she may be a little upset, just sit down with her and play, and give herlove, and then make her do things on her own...it will get better, hang in there!
 
the move is probably her problem. she was used to being with your mom all the time so she may be afraid that since she doesn't see grandma anymore if she lets you out of her sight she won't see you again. reassure her that you will not leave her and call your mom regularly so she can talk to her as much as possible. try setting up some fun games & activities she can do by herself that will keep her busy while you get things done (board games, coloring books, videos, etc). let her help you with simple chores like loading & unloading the dishwasher & clothes washer/dryer, wiping down furniture, etc and always praise her for being such a good helper. this will help build up her confidence and make her feel like a big girl and may help with her whinning. I'm thinking she feels so totally out of control about the move that giving her some control over little things will help.
 
Hi - I also have a toddler - Joe is 31 months old - and he has his whining times, too. More often than not, I think he gets bored. Kids this age still don't totally know how to entertain themselves, and they are just looking for some attention. Toys can get old real fast. They want new things for stimulation. If you have a lot of toys for her, put some away for like a week, and next week they'll be brand new to her again. Maybe you could try to find a play date for her, someone around her age to play with, and you and the other parent can relax for a little bit. Even an empty diaper box can be the most exciting thing they've seen all week! Good luck, and I hope I've helped out some!
