My dear son who is 4.5 seems to have turned, slowly but surely, into little Lord Fauntleroy.
Nothing is right for him.
He complains about everything
I don't like this/I don't want to walk / I want I want I want.
He seems to have erased the words please & thank you from his brain.
He seems to be constantly grasping & never content or satisfied or grateful. It's really getting me down.
Short of locking him in a cupboard with nothing but bread and water for the next 20 years, how can I foster a more positive and contented outlook in him?
Is this an age thing & a phase (please God, say it is) or does he have an appalling personality trait?
What's the best way to react to a complaint/grumble/whinge?
