Whining children
From the front page
Is your kid a whiner? Have you tried virtually everything you can think of with little or no results? If so, you may want to check out this article in MSN Family. It gives some examples of alternate strategies that are used by some parents.

Personally I never gave in to my daughters whining, fortunately she doesn't do much of it. I either would ignore it or just glare at her and tell her to stop her moaning. That always seemed to be enough.

If I had a dollar for everytime I told my kids to use their 'real voice' , instead of the alternate whiney one, I'd be a rich woman.
Sn00py is the WORST one for doing this! He will whine until you give in just to shut him up.

No it prepares women for marriage, not listening prepares males.
