I have tried putting him in time out, i have spanked him, talked to him in a friendly manner. I get so frustrated with why he acts like this. We never had any problems like this with his older sister..

Why is he whining? Is it that he wants gum in the checkout line or the next best Power Rangers action figure? I put my kids (3 and 6) in charge of their own wants. Every time they see something they want, we write it down on their wish list. They do chores around the house to earn quarters toward buying the things they want (cleaning up the living room, making their beds, putting their clothes away). Usually, telling them we'll add it to the list is enough. When it isn't, we compare what gum costs versus a remote control car...they quit whining, and they're learning the value of working for what they want.
Hope it helps--

My 3 and a 1/2 year old son does the same thing. I tell him Im not answering him until he stops whining. I have done everything else as well to stop him from doing this. The only thing that really works is telling him that you'll listen to him when he stops. Also try ignoring him if he doesnt stop. Its kinda hard to do, but it does work. I sometimes put my son in his room for a time out until he stops yelling. He has no toys in there to play with so it makes it easier.

My son went through that same thing a couple months ago. We did a reward system, go a week night without whining at home and pick an item out of a basket from the dollar store, stickers, lollipop, tatoo etc. Go a full weekend day without whining and mommy and daddy do whatever he wants to play for the evening. It was kind of fun and it worked, he thought he was big stuff.

Each child is different - please don't compare, you might just slip and say something -- she WILL pick up on 'she is better'. You have a sensitive son -- get down on his level and speak to him in a low, calm & controlled voice. Worst senereo, ignore him -- whatever he is asking (whining) for, he does NOT get until he stops - period, cookies go back into the cabinet - whatever and he does NOT get any today. There will be many, many times that you will have to do this -- don't give in.

Try ignoring the whining. If you don't respond to what he's whining for, he might stop. I know it's not easy when it's on your last nerve and you want to choke him, but if he's doing it to get a rise out of you, he'll stop. Only respond if he asks or speaks to you in a normal tone.

while my little ones might whine I informed them "Mommy can't hear you once you whine." in the event that they whined back i might repeat it and keep doing what i became into doing. They found out speedy that whining gets no reaction from me. My 10yr previous nonetheless does it at situations. She's have been given a noisy whiny voice. regrettably takes after me on account that i became into the comparable as a newborn & teenager. lol yet i'm speedy to remind her "i'm sorry yet i can't hear you once you whine." while he has a hissy in fantastic condition take him to his mattress room, tell him he can come out while he's accomplished and close the door. enable him understand his in fantastic condition won't exchange your ideas or get him what he needs.

Speak to him claimly and consistantly. Explain to him that his behavior is not acceptable. He's probably just trying to get your attention, when he gets upset again explain to him that Mommy's making dinner can we sit and talk about it after dinner. This really works with my step son, he's 3. Then after dinner he probably won't remember why he was upset. At least your explaining to him that you do care why he's upset and then you can spend your time after dinner playing cards or coloring.
