[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Firstly, I do not allow whining. I have a 3y old and almost 2 yr old. If you whine, you immediately get sent to your bedroom and can't come out until you're ready to speak without whining.

Secondly, kids like to MOVE. Sitting in a car for hours is horridly boring for a kid. I like to set my kids up for success/good behavior. I make sure I put food in them before a meltdown comes, I put them down for a nap/quiet time before they're overtired and cranky.

You can't keep them out in the hot sun all day. I've been traveling with them since the oldest was just born and they're both great at it, save for time changes.[/quote]

You sound like a real joy.   Can't wait till you hit the teenage years.  That iron hand approach won't work when you can't just order them around. [/quote]

Lol, yes, I absolutely CAN order my kids around. There is absolutely nothing unreasonable about sending a kid to their bedroom to regroup and calm down when they've misbehaved. I don't know why you guys think it's so awful to punish a kid for whining, but I stand by my decision.[/quote]
