Tough Love vs. Spanking

Most Americans think it improper to spank children.
My friends and brothers have tried other methods to control their kids when they have one of 'those moments.'

One that I found effective is for me to just take the child for a car ride.

Some say it's the vibration from the car, others say it's the time away from any distractions such as TV, video games, computer, I Pod, etc.

Either way, the kids usually calm down and stop misbehaving after our car ride together.

Eye to eye contact helps a lot too.

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






This works with grandchildren, nieces, and nephews as well.
