[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 446447, member: 1514"] I did find that with girls they whine more. It is the one thing that I dont like as much with my granddaughters as opposed to my sons when they were little. Or maybe my boys just realized that whining wasnt going to work well because we didnt have much money back then so whining for things wasnt gonna get them things and what they really wanted was outdoors play and they had that. Keyana whines. Badly. Maybe it is our fault. I have instituted the no whine zone and I simply dont listen to whining. I pretend I cant understand her if she talks in anything other than big girl talk. Whining is for babies. I say it once and then I go about my business. If it persists more than a few minutes, this is the one of the few times that she gets sent to her room to work it out. Normally it will stop and I get an apology fairly fast and she comes to me to snuggle. Thing is you have to be consistent. Its not easy. I adore my granddaughter and I want nothing more to do than take her to the store and give in to her every whim. I do. I want to buy her every toy on the market. I want to buy every little pink outfit and all the glittery jeans in town. When she fell in love with Justin Bieber, I ordered her jeans and a shirt custom made with his picture and her name on it! She is my first little girl in my life and I have wanted one forever. Its sooooo hard for me to attempt to stand firm with her and it is doubly hard for her Papa. LOL. Sometimes I am the only one in the house enforcing rules in the house but she still loves us. She adores us. Your son will love you even if you even if you enforce limits. [/QUOTE]
