I am going through a really rough patch with my daughter who turned 3 in April. Ugh, i am at wits end with her and really not enjoying my days with her right now...It sounds awful to say i know.
All day everyday, she is beginning to whine. She will whine and cry when she wants something, even if its something at arms length and she just doesnt want to reach to get something, she will whine! I ask her to use her words and just say what it is, she seems to understand and will then say, 'please can i have....etc'
But then a few minutes later she will do it again. What is the best strategy to get her to stop the whining all the time? I dont mind when she is crying or wants something. Its just the constant whining it just is really getting me down right now :(
Second thing being, bedtime. Ahhh bedtime my worst part of my day.
She has always been in such a great bedtime routine, bath, book, bed. But lately she just will not sleep. She will scream and tantrum and use things to try get out of bed. She will cry shes hungry, thirsty, needs the bathroom as soon as she goes to bed. When she is in bed, she just sits in there and shouts me over and over. Keep running out of her bed..I dont know.
If anyone could give me some good tips or advice that helps you with your little ones that would be awesome!!! Thanks :)
