When do toddler stop whinning and crying over everything?

[Chans11]

Hi all

the past few months my 2.5 year old girl just seems to whin and cry most days over anything and its really starting to grate on me. How long should this phase last? It doesnt help i feel like i cant take her out for long anymore as she doesnt hold my hand and keeps trying to escape the pushchair.

thanks

Hi- I am hoping all of us with the 2.5/3 year olds can get together on this. Mine will be turning 3 next month and it's still going on but with added screaming and biting now! If you find out anything please let me know too!

I found 4 for my daughters was the stage it got better with those things. It is down to communication and their way of expressing their feelings.

Its hard you’re not alone.

Never had this stage with my child but my naiece did 4/5 ish about same time her parents divorced. Environmental facts have a bit impact.

About 18 years.

My youngest started doing this at around 2. He's 5 now and still does it, although it is slightly less often than before.

I think some kids are more whiney than others and more inclined to actively share their emotions. My kids are 8 and 6 and my littler one is naturally more whiney than the older one and hasn't really grown out of it, she's just more emotional and feels things more deeply and she's highly social so her "go to" is to let the people around her know what she's feeling! It can be annoying at least now she can articulate it (that stage started about 4) but as a 2 and 3 year old she was always whinging, crying, whining about anything and everything (the sun, the rain, the food, not any food, the drink cup, the car seat, the pushchair etc). We try and stay positive, so if it's a whine/crying fit about falling over "wow aren't you brave, you don't want to miss out on playing so big hug and off you go" or just recognising the feeling then swiftly moving on "I can hear that you don't like the pink cup, that's the one we are having today but tomorrow let's choose the cup together" then focusing on the next thing.
It might be annoying but my son introverts his feelings and I constantly worry, if he seems low he often says "I don't want to talk about it" so we never know what's going on. So you might appreciate her louder emotions when she's older!!

Mine weren’t really whiney toddlers but DD8 does a very annoying whine now. I tell her that I’m happy to discuss anything and listen to her but only when she does it in a normal voice. It’s just painful otherwise!

I agree my 3rd child is just like this and unless I acknowledged what it is she’s pissed about she continues to be pissed lol but once I mention it she seems to be passified for 0.2 seconds then onto the next tiny inconvenience

The tantrums start at 2.5 Yr old and end at 18yr old nowadays.

Theyre all different Im afraid.
I had a baby that, whined, never slept.
Then I had another baby who Never cried, slept 9 hours solid every night.
Water is very calming , warm baths every day. And milk. If a baby is whiney, my first go to is MILK, its comforting. Its not wise to remove Dairy too young. ( My opinion only, you are welcome to remove dairy OR give oat milk)

Get some reigns. I always make my 3 yo hold my hand even when he fights I don’t let go and had reigns with my eldest.

My son is 3, 4 in September and he does my head in with the whingeing, still going strong here, really hopeful that 4 is the turning point 🤞

Not sure if you meant it to Devon but this post comes across as a bit judgemental on a thread where other mums are seeking support for a standard childhood phase.
