"Treatment" of baby's whining

Every mother has moments when she can’t control herself and gets angry with her naughty child. Here are four ways to help you stay calm:

Keep kids busy

If you are busy with something, cleaning the house or cooking, or entertaining guests, and your child keeps whining for you to play with them, don't get angry. Stop what you are doing for just 1 minute, focus on talking to your child as if you were discussing something very important, saying: "Mommy really wants to have a beautiful picture of you. Now bring out your paper and pen, I will draw, then you help me color it beautifully". My friend, while busy with cleaning the house, responded like that to her 3-year-old daughter who was asking her mother to play with her. And the wonderful thing that happened was that she had an hour of free time to do her work, while her daughter was still absorbed in coloring the picture her mother drew. If your child has another hobby, don't forget to guide her to that hobby when you don't have time for her.

Ask children to help

The next time you hear your child say, “I’m bored!”, give them something to do. You can assign them light chores during the day like watering the flowers, vacuuming the floor, making their own bed, or setting the table for dinner. There are things that children of any age can do, as long as you are bold enough to let them do it.

Teach children a skill

There are things you need to do to keep the house clean and tidy, and there are things you want to do for fun. Categorize them as “fun” and “tasks.” Now teach your child those chores, including throwing water balloons he’s been begging to play with you in the yard, cleaning the garage, cleaning out the closet, cooking dinner… anything, as long as it’s with your child.

Take time for yourself

Every day you have 30 minutes to “take advantage” of for yourself, the key issue is whether you want to spend time for yourself or not. You should do so, to reduce stress and work effectively. Think more about yourself, rest to regain a refreshing spirit. That way you benefit, and your family benefits too. Spend 30 minutes at the gym to exercise, keep in shape, read a book, watch a good movie, sip a glass of wine... just let yourself escape from the daily “chaos” even for a short time. You will quickly regain your energy and find yourself more lovable, not grumpy, angry...
