[lurks in the hope the answer is 4.5 and we're over the worst]

Doesn't it carry on into the teens?

A family member teaches 10 year olds and she says they would whinge all day if she let them!

Looks like the whinge will peak just in time for the teenage strop.

Fabulous, dd is only 2.5 and due ds in a couple of weeks.

Do you know the way when a baby cries it releases a hormone in the mummy. Do you think when a child whinges it does the same thing but it makes you want to throttle them?

Totally agreed, whinging could bring me to violence before any other (of the many) challenging behaviours.

Am beginning to think some children just ARE whingers. And in payback for some woeful past evil deed I have got one of these....

DD (2.7) whinges. It winds me up endlessly... please say it is soon - when she is non-whingy she is lovely [sigh]
