[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 444632, member: 4040"] When I'm subbing and have a persistent whiner, I designate a "no whining" zone. If you have a question, problem, or concern, once you enter the zone, you have to speak clearly and calmly, and when you do that, I'm happy to listen, and we'll fix it as best we can. It works most of the time. With Miss KT, I found that she was whining simply to hear the sound of her own voice. I tried the reasoning with her...nope. I tried responding calmly that ABC wasn't going to happen right now, because we had to do XYZ. Nope. Hollered, "Stop whining!" And she stared at me like she had no idea why I had just hollered at her. Finally told her that if she just had to whine, she could whine in her room, and when she was ready to come out and talk to me like a civilized person, I was ready to listen. [/QUOTE]
