My daughter is two and a half and whines all the time. Not for anything in particular - it is driving me crazy and I really feel like I am heading for a nervous breakdown. I have tried ignoring her, giving her attention, giving her what she wants and really do not know how much longer I can take this. Any advice on how to help her stop or for me to handle it better would really be appreciated. It has only been like this in the last couple of weeks and there have been no major changes in our lives that would upset her. Her dad is away alot on business and this might have something to do with it as I am sure she misses him. thanks
 
When she starts whining, tell her that you only understand "big girl" words. Don't answer her questions or grant her requests when asked in the whiny voice. If it continues, set her on her bed and tell her she can come out after she "throws away" the whining.
 
She is old enough to understand English, so sit her down and tell her you love her very much, and then tell her the whining has to STOP!! Tell her whining will get her punished from now on, and then STICK TO IT ! ! ! If you punish with ttime out, do it when she starts the whining bit, and then leave the room. The emptier the room, the better.When she figureas out that whining gets her nothing but stuck in an empty room, she'll stop !
