[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are times when you need to be the heavy parent, just like in the pre-"positive parenting" era. I have never tolerated whining in my kids, because for me it's like nails on a chalkboard. They stopped when [b]I yelled at them furiously in the scariest voice I could muster. It only took one time, and when I heard incipient signs of whining after that, all I had to do was bend down menacingly and threaten them[/b]. One of my kids was very clingy (and still is), but I instituted a period of quiet time, first in her crib, then out of it, at lunch time so I could have some time to myself for an hour. I relax rules on many things, but behavior is not one of them. When I tell them to do something, they do it.[/quote] This is... not good.[/quote]
