DS whinges and melts down over the littlest things. And he goes on & on & on. It is driving us nuts and we are not reacting in the best manner as nothing seems to work. It is like once he starts, he just completely shuts down. Won't listen to reason, threats, bribes, cuddles, timeout all fail. Just keeps sulking, crying and being a general PITA ALL THE TIME! It usually starts before we even get out of bed. Why? Because I had the nerve to suggest it is time to get out of bed. Time warnings don't work. Trying to make it fun doesn't work. Bribing him with ABC4kids doesn't work. He just instantly starts sulking and crying. This morning he decided DD wasn't allowed in the bathroom when it was time to clean their teeth. When I told him to leave her alone, he started. Again. Refused to clean his teeth, carried on like a little monster for a good ten minutes at least but it felt like longer. And that's a short one.

Help! What else can we do?
