[quote=Anonymous]3 year olds get up early. Totally normal and silly to be mad as this. Split the weekend so one person is up per weekends day if you all like to sleep in. She is learning that whining is a way to communicate, directly from him. That's how he communicates with her so she will mimic is. With kids that age (and any age really) it's always "do as I do and not as I say". That's what she's learning. Being angry or arguing with a 3 year old, that adult already lost. That said, 3 is a hard age and a good time to set boundaries and expectations for behavior. They want to please still. I have a pretty hard and fast "no whining rule" if you whine you get nothing. If you ask, we will help you. So I ask kids to repeat requests nicely etc and I don't hear whinging etc. if they are hurt or sick, rule suspended for a bit. [/quote]
