14m DD, whingeing, whining, moaning, crying.......Dont know what to do?

[pinkpeanut]

Hi everyone,
DD is 14m old, and is certainly a very spirited and beautiful girl, but lately I've found it hard to cope with her.

She goes to nursery most days and loves it, they say that she is just so easy going and laid back. When she gets home and at the weekend all she does is follow me around the house moaning and screaming for me to pick her up ALL day. So, I pick her up and she cries, I put her down and she cries. I accept that she's tired when she comes home from nursery so whenever possible I devote some cuddle time (I also have a 5yr ds).

Sometimes though she just wont be pleased, but am unsure of what to do. Should I ignore her or give into to her every demand. I'm unsure if 14m is too young to ignore her, or will she learn that actually moaning gets you nowhere?

I dont think she is teething, all first 4 molars have come through and otherwise she is well at the moment.

I would really appreciate your thoughts, or even if you tell me that your lo's are the same! Is it a phase? I'm sure ds was never like that?

Thanks

I can truly symperthise with you. My 3 year old gets like it from time to time. It must be sooo draining for you. How about giving her some activities to do eg drawing, ply dough etc. Making cakes is nice or let her "help" you with the house work.
I think at nursery they are so stimulated and there's so many children to play with, she may feel that she just wants to spend as much time relaxing with you. She is a bit young to entertain herself so if all else fails, cbeebiees. Good luck

hey, my 1yr old daughter is exactly the same, moaning, winging and crying for what seems to be no reason at all!! she has never been a wingey baby and has always settled down straight away at bed time, but now she just screams and screams when she is put to bed i dont no what to do! i have tried putting her to bed earlier and later but nothing seems to work. any ideas??? im in need of help!!!

Don't pick her up when she whinges find something to do - a toy,help you with some chores.

Maybe put together a small bag of special toys to do together when she's whinging that you don't have out at other times
