if your child whines or "cries" (not real tears), do you say, "stop crying" or "no crying"? we have been doing this sometimes, while simultaneously being loving and affectionate (in other words, it doesn't sound scolding). still, i'm not really comfortable with it. i try to teach ds that his feelings are valid; i just also don't want him to express those feelings (such as wanting a toy he can't have right now, or feeling frustrated) by whining. what do YOU do? ds just turned 3.

When my DS whines, I tell him I can't understand him when he whines, which is basically true. I never say "no crying". Too general, and crying is really ok. He can't get the subtlety that fake crying isn't ok and real crying is. [ Reply | More

I always call it like I see it. "your faking" why are you faking? what is the real problem? why are you upset? let's talk about it. Tell me what's going on? Are you sad? Are you mad? Why? and then just go from there. [ Reply | More
