Well here's one for the collective CP mind. I'm still relatively new to this parenting thing (If I ever mention my son, it's technically step-son) but what do you guys do in this situation?
For some reason I think my Grandpa's method wouldn't be quite as accepted in todays world so if it gets past the point of words fixing it I just scoop the kid up and go to the car until he's done. And of course never give in to his 'demands', it's like negotiating with a terrorist. Give him what he wants and he'll learn his powers and just want more.
