How do you deal with your children when they won't stop whining?

1 Answer

Answer :

I haven’t used the spanking method, so I don’t know. When my son would act like that, I put him in the car and went to the park. We lived in an apartment, and he loved to run. At the park, he could run to his heart’s content, and I didn’t have to run with him, like I would when we walked around the block. It works with my grandson, as well.
