lately my 3yo has been working my nerves. don't get me wrong, i'll always love my kids more than life its self; but  DAMN!! i hate whining!!! i have tried ingnoring, i've tried yelling, i've tried time-outs....but mostly what has seemed to work is giving him some extra one on one time. no tv in the morning. no running to do work while the baby is sleeping. just get on the floor and read some more books, play some more guys, give a few extra hugs and kisses. my son is such a wonderful, inquisitive, lovable child. i hope we're on a new path far away from the round the clock whining and more 'help please, mommy'. because it's so much easier for BOTH of us!!
