I had the same problem with a 5 yr. old. when he started whining about something i threaten to take the most important thing to him away. When that stopped working i started pretending to throw those things away. As far as him not picking up his toys start throwing them away and explain to him once they are in the garbage he can't take them back. mine is seven now and he even picks up after himself after he eats. Rinses his plate and puts it in the dishwasher. start with his movies that sounds like that is what is most important to him.

With some kids any attention is good attention. Try completely ignoring him when he whines. When he asks nicely for things praise him generously and give him lots of attention. They are pretty smart - he will soon work out which gets him what he wants and which doesn't - Good Luck

send him to the 'whining' room..(pick any room in the house) Or tell him you cant understnad him when he whines and ignore him until he does. I know this is not easy!!! I have been through 3 kids and whining.try rewards, maybe a chart so he can see his progress. The best advice is to NOT give in

Sounds normal...I've got five younger brothers. DON'T give in when you've said something, and just ignore the whining. He's just testing your boundaries, and will realize very soon that it's not on, and that it's not worth it to whine.
Hope this helps!

if hes just whining a little tell him that if he keeps whining hes not gonna get it and if he keeps gonig make him sit on the couch or in the corner for like 20 minutes and dont give in he'll just think he can get his way no matter what and if he goes into a full blown fit spank his butt or add time to his time-out

As hard as it is, ignore it. Children look for attention, whether positive or negative- if you ignore it, he will eventually tire of not getting any attention and will, hopefully, stop.
Don't give it though- that's how kids get spoiled. You have to establish that you are the parent and you are in charge and in control.

make him sit in a chair till he learns to stop whinning.be very cool and calm.after all he is just a child throwing a temper tantrum.Tell him the louder and longer he whines the longer he has to sit and think about what he's whinning for.

Don't give it to him...whatever he wants. If you do, I know some parents who have spoiled brats on their hands when their kids get older. He is testing you and you need to hold your ground. He'll learn, maybe slowly, that it's not going to be his way all the time. Then he'll eventually play with something else or go to sleep. : )

blantantly and obviously ignore him...until he begins to calm down...then say "Oh, are you ready to talk calmly to me now?" This always works when your kids is obviously fibbing...This has been very effective for me. "I know you aren't being honest so when you decide to tell the truth we can talk." It usually doesn't take more than an hour (at least by the next meal time) to get the truth.
