I love my son dearly but I can hardly take another minute of the whining. He is a very strong willed child as well which is probably another reason why I feel so overwhelmed. We have tried several different approaches when he starts talking this way including... sending him to time outs, ignoring him when he does this or telling him go to his room until he can talk like a big boy. Nothing seems to work. He is driving us crazy! He is also at this age where he is starting to backtalk. I am usually pretty under control but I could really use some advice. Thanks so much!
