Ella has been doing some seriously whining lately. It's frustrating for her not to be able to express what she wants or walk. I can see it making her mad. We've been practicing words. Patience, patience, practice, practice. As much for me as for her! Today we learned nite-nite (she says nanite). I've been ignoring all whining and crying for attention, I repeat the word, "nite-nite" or "all-done" calmly and walk away. As soon as she says it (or anything really) as long as it's not a whine I give her what she said. It's working. Well, toddler-working. Nothing is 100%, sometimes she whines, especially with Daddy (he is a major sucker for her) but she is asking as much as whining. two steps forward one step back.
