Every couple of years, cracks in my drywall keep reappearing in more

The cracks are very small(possibly due to a weak spot susceptible to
freeze-thaw shifting of the house foundation) ..... is there are more
flexible product I could use to cover them up? Drywall compound is too
brittle and does not do the trick.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks ..... what a great forum! Wish I would have discovered it years
ago.

Use drywall glass mesh tape over crack.

I'll add a vote for this idea. It even works well on plaster. Previous home:
15 years later, no cracks, according to new owner.
