[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She sounds lonely and wants your attention. Could you have her help you with cooking, laundry and chores? [/quote] +1 She whines she’s bored? Teach her to cook/do laundry/vacuum/whatever. Good for keeping her mind off things (my bathroom is never cleaner than when I’m avoiding a tough problem I don’t want to solve), you get your chores done, and she gains useful life skills. And don’t give in to whining; it re-enforces that whining is a good strategy for getting what you want. If dinner needs to be made, it needs to be made and she needs to learn that’s how it works.[/quote]
