[quote=Anonymous]Well, as you said, he's doing it to get attention. So give him some, but don't give him the emotional payoff he is seeking. Mine is older now, but when he cried, I'd acknowledge and say "I know it is frustrating when you want something and can't have it." and then I'd sing the Daniel Tiger song about how it's ok to be sad. That worked, but what worked better was - if I knew there was a trigger event like being at the store and wanting to get a toy, I'd tell him beforehand that if he did whining and crying inside the store he'd lose a a privilege. So, if you know you are going to be doing something like walking past an ice cream store, set the expectation for the behavior before you go. [/quote]
