[quote=Anonymous]I would ignore her whining (literally turn away from her and ignore her) but then positively reinforce all other behaviors (walking nicely, helping pick out fruit, holding your hand in the parking lot). Reward her for her positive behavior with attention and smiles. Talk to her in advance about what the visit to the store is for ("we're picking out cereal for Daddy and some meat for dinner. Can you help remember the two things?"). With my DD, sometimes I let her pick out one thing that she wanted in the grocery store. It was funny, sometime she picked out the funniest things (a bag of frozen peas). Or do a bingo game with her. Put some items on a list with pictures and see if she can cross them off as you shop. Anyway, you can change this pattern but I wouldn't make it a control issue between DD and you, I would make alternate ways of behaving more rewarding and fun for her. GL! [/quote]
