I'm sorry your day started on the wrong track...You can start it again at any time you know...

Children change as fast as a board man with a TV remote so please don't fret too much. Their chemistry is in almost constant flux...

In situations where your boy doesn't want to do what you would like,,,the first question to ask is "what would you like to do?"...That will take him off the defensive mode and put him in proactive...He won't be whinning...He'll be thinking...

Then try compromise,,,teaching him this concept will offer him a tool that is proiceless in life...Do his "thing" for a bit and then do yours...Over time he will begin to understand that other people have needs too and helping them fill theris will help him fill his...

With Care,

Lenny
