He does understand the concept of timeout so recently I have been sending him to the timeout couch where he stays and just cries it out, but i need a way to head off the whiney behavior without reinforcing it,because it is becoming the norm at least two or three of these crying fits a day. With my girls who are older 15,13 and 11 and now a 20 month old boy I stayed home and took care of them and do not remember them having quote this many fits. Husband though has been out of work with broken hip that wont heal after first surgery and taking care of our baby boy. Husband has same personality as the baby (or vice versa) Husband very high strung type of guy...and apparently my son is too. He can be funloving and laughing and then just turns to this cranky whiney boy, and this is after a good nap. I am a seasoned Mom of 4, so only mothers or fathers with kids please answer this question, those who are experienced. I have tried loving him and hugging him which only reinforced the behavior.
