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.
