Oh man I feel your pain...

when DCK do this, I usualy ask whats wrong, allow them to express their feelings....Its usually nonsense, but sometimes they are sad for other reasons. I try to validate their feelings.....BUT if its at the point where you are, I just ignor it. I will tell them, Im really sorry you are up set, and its ok to be upset or mad or ___________________. However, if you would like to whine, scream, cry or anything like that, then you will have to sit in the front room until you are ready to join our happy group.
If they keep on with their actions, I will tell them and so will the other DCKS " Can you please stop_________you are really hurting my ears....After this they get ignored...
