[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 278098, member: 3444"] Part of it is the age, Janet. Sounds like she has a little bit of anxiety, and not being able to express what she's feeling it comes out as a whine or as tears, and since that's been what's worked, she sticks with it. Maybe when Hailie gets there she'll serve as a distraction! Have you tried gently working with her to talk about what she's feeling? Something like, "I/Papa can't understand what you want when you are crying like that, you need to use your words so I/Papa can help you." And lots of praise for saying what she wants instead of crying. Then again, I could be wrong! [/QUOTE]
