Jhon Jairo

So, I'm starting my fourth week here at the farm and I fee like I'm a father of 27 boys all at once.  I've done a pretty good job at understanding all of them, except Jhon Jairo.  I have never in my life heard a child whine and complain as much as he does.  What can I do to change his attitude?  I have a newfound respect for my father.  Thanks for putting up with me for so long.

Yet, I must ask myself, does he whine only because that is all he knows?  Has he only received things out of persistence and annoyance?  Does he simply need someone to teach him how to use his words rather than use his voice?  We'll see . . . .
