Most of America's populace thinks it very improper to spank children, so my spouse and I have tried other methods to control our kids when they have one of "those moments". One that we found very effective is for me just take the child for a car ride and talk. They usually calm down and stop misbehaving after our little car ride together. I've included the photo below of one of my sessions, with our son, in case you would like to use the technique. Its very effective! || || || V || || || || V || || || || V || || || || V || || || V || || || || V || || || || V || || || || V *Disclaimer: No children were harmed in the creation of this post*
No kidding. It was an email that was sent to me, but she'll swear that the child on the hood bears a striking resemblance to my son. You know, two eyes, two nostrils, mouth, hair...
