Me to Sam: I am tired of hearing you whine. Go to your room.
I think I said this about a dozen times on Friday morning. It has been working wonders. Sam stomps up to her room, slams the door shut and takes a few minutes to calm down.
She then comes back downstairs, continues whining and I send her straight back up to her room.
Wash, rinse, repeat.
Jeff feels we can no longer call "whining" a phase. It is now officially personality trait. Fabulous! (said very sarcastically). My friend has recently told me that your personality is fully formed by the time you are 5 years old. Sam has less than one month to form this "whining" into something else. I am not holding out any hope that it will turn into something magical. I can not wait for that first kindergarten teacher-parent meeting next year. (again, said very sarcastically).
