Yes, it's a phase. If whining grates on your nerves the same way it grates on mine, then I'm doubly sorry.
Don't threaten -- just do whatever the discipline is, and follow through each time. Threats are just bargaining tools, in the end. You know what your child feels is negative reinforcement -- whatever it is, just stick with it each time, so behavior and consequence are always assumed to be inseparable.
