Love Your People Well - Motherhood, Marriage, & Family Relationships From A Christian Counselor

Episode 193 // There is nothing more frustrating than listening to your child whine, grumble, and complain. It’s never fun. But every child has those moments - so today, I want to share my 3 most successful ways to STOP that whining!

These are not magic wands. But they are quick, easy, free, and don’t require a screen. They can help whether your child is 4 of 14.

Plus, stay for the end to hear a few ideas for how I manage my own frustration, so I can get up and do these 3 simple relationship-building activities even when the whining is pushing my buttons.

If your child never whines, this episode is not for you. But please, email me YOUR tips if that’s you! For the rest of us… let’s remember: every child whines sometimes. We whine too on occasion. But there are helpful things we can do - and these 3 ideas are a great place to start.

Let’s dive in.
