Why Kids Whine (and What Actually Helps): A Conversation with Tania & Tammy, Episode #165

Why Kids Whine (and What Actually Helps): A Conversation with Tania & Tammy, Episode #165

Whining can feel like nails on a chalkboard, especially when everyone is tired, stretched thin, or heading into (or out of) the holiday season. In this episode, Tania and Tammy unpack why kids whine, what’s happening beneath the behaviour, and how parents can respond in ways that reduce escalation and build connection.

With their signature blend of warmth, humour, and clinical insight, they explore the real reasons kids slip into that grating tone, how stress and dysregulation fuel it, and why some children are more prone to whining than others. You’ll walk away with simple, compassionate strategies you can use right away to support emotional regulation, set clear boundaries, and guide your child back to calm.

If whining has ever pushed your buttons (we’ve all been there!), this episode is for you.
