Tough Love vs. Spanking
Most Americans think it improper to spank children, so I tried other methods to control my kids when they have one of 'those moments.'
One that I found effective is to take the child for a ride and talk.
Some say it's the vibration of the car, others say it's the time away from distractions such as TV, Video Games, Computer, IPod, etc.
Either way, my kids calm down and stop misbehaving after our ride together. Eye to eye contact helps too.
I've included a photo of one of my sessions with my son, in case you would like to use the technique.
