Whining and crying are employed by kids for the purpose of getting something. If it works, then it was worth the effort and will be repeated.

Don't wait for him to turn 10 before you reveal that you are not in fact the hired help whose job it is to clean up after him.

The best inheritance parents can give their children is a few minutes of their time each day.

If there is no relationship - nothing else matters !

The quickest way to change your child’s behaviour is to first change your own.
