Many in America today think it's improper to spank children. So, I tried other methods to control my kids when they have one of 'those moments;' and I've one that is very effective for me. I just take the child for a car ride and talk a little bit.



It seems to work pretty well. Some say it's the vibration from the car and others say it's the time away from distractions (such as TV, video games, computer, IPod, etc.). Either way, my kids usually calm down and stop misbehaving after our car ride together.



In case you would like to use the technique, I've included a photo below of one of my sessions with my son.

Sincerely,
Your Friend












I think this will work with grandchildren, nieces, and nephews as well.
