Children and Toddlers will whine and whinge to get as much attention from you as they can.
Having whinging toddlers or a whining child will put a direct strain on your day to day routine.
Therefore, it’s important to get to the bottom of the constant moaning to regain control.
Whinging toddlers usually begins after your child 2nd birthday and this can last until preschool.
This is your toddlers’ natural way to let you know they aren’t happy with something you are doing or saying.
Moreover, It is also a way to express their frustrations with an event or emotion.
Your child is at a crucial developmental stage being more able to express themselves.
However, they are still learning the exact vocabulary to use to describe how they are feeling.
Without being able to express themselves sufficiently they turn to whining as a natural way to express and vent negative emotions.
Some kids may be more easily bothered by their surroundings and have more intense sensory requirements, which can lead to immature or “annoying” actions.
There is no true way to avoid it, though: Children are inherently annoying.

Here are some effective ways to stop your toddler constantly crying and whining.
My Child Annoys Me All The Time – What Can I Do?
1. Be Patience
It’s the first and smartest way to keep calm and be patient with your child.
The whinging is not a reflection on you or something you are actively doing to contribute to it.
It is more a reflection of developmental change and language growth and the barrier between them both.
2. Don’t Respond
The more you respond to the whining the more you show your child that it’s an acceptable form of expression and behaviour.
Try not to respond to the whining. Instead focus on him once he has stopped.
3. Be Consistent
Once you have begun to crack down on whining its time to be firm.
You want to show your child that whinging won’t get them what they want and it’s not an acceptable way to express themselves.
You need to be consistent in your approach. Whenever you hear that whine don’t respond to it.
4. Reinforce Positive Behaviour
A good way to keep your child from whining constantly is to reinforce positive behaviour.
If they have been exceptionally good at a particular task or if you see an improvement in their behaviour give them extra praise and attention.
5. Attention
Whinging toddlers and whining toddlers is a plea for attention.

Are they Tired?
Have they been stimulated?

Moreover, If it does resurface you can be sure that it’s due to another factor (attention, growing pains etc)
6. Use Your Words
Older children are more able to express their basic wants and needs.

Try to consistency reinforce this fact and teach this principle over and over again.

Get it right and they will forget why they were irritated or upset in the first place!
If you use the above techniques in rotation you’ll have a very good strategy book the next time your child starts to whine uncontrollably.
