Behavior Modification

Alex's whining has yet to subside.  The amount it irritates me also has yet to subside.  We've learned so far that yelling and/or scolding does nothing to curb the obnoxious wailings of a butthurt child, so I've come up with a different solution.

Every time he whines, I get to pinch his butt.

It's really a win for all sides.  He thinks it's pretty funny so his attitude changes.  I get to inflict a quick burst of mild discomfort which lets him know how annoying his whining is while simultaneously relieving just a squink of stress for me.  Dr. Spock's got nothin' on me.
