[blparent] Whining!

[Pickrell, Rebecca M. (TASCSD)]

I just let Mellie have her tantrum, unless I need to leave someplace in
which case I pick her up and carry her. 
Very tough to do with a cane, and if anybody has tips, would love to
have them. 
How do you folks with dogs manage to carry a kid who can act like a
protester going all limp when they don't want to be carried? 
I'm no longer using a dog, so I ask more out of curiousity. Would be
good to know of any useful tips for doing this with a cane though.

Ooooh, Veronica, I can't stand whining, either. It especially drives me
nuts when Gabbie throws herself on the floor. I'm not sure if I should
just ignore her or what, but usually I pull her up and tell her to
"stand up"! Ugh. Tantrums ... how to get through them!

A smile costs nothing but gives much.  It enriches those who receive
without making poorer those who give.  It takes but a moment, but the
memory of it sometimes lasts forever.  None is so rich or mighty that he
cannot get along without it and none is so poor that he cannot be made
rich by it. 
Yet a smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is
something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away.  Some
people are too tired to give you a smile.  Give them one of yours, as
none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give.

It's like whining, the less you pay attention to it, the sooner it goes
away.  Well, if anything can push my buttons is whining and the more of
it there is, the more angry I get.  I keep telling myself, just walk
away, but instead i yell, Stop whining." V
