Category: Whining

March 8, 2025

Does your child....
- Give up quickly when faced with a difficult task.
- Lash out if something does not go as they hoped or planned.
- Avoid tough tasks.
- Refuse to complete tasks, often insisting that they are boring.
- Become angry when asked to wait or to take turns.
- Quit when they can’t do something perfectly on the first attempt.
Rather than a behavior problem, lack of motivation or an anger issue, your child may simply be experiencing low frustration tolerance.

Tired of the whining? Does it feel like your children are constantly begging for food? Are you feeling cranky? Exhausted by the sheer quantity of time spent meeting the needs of your children?
