Better Than Spanking - Light Hearted Parenting
Thursday, December 06, 2007
My son sent me this email and I thought it was blog-worthy:
~ Tough Love vs. Spanking ~
(a psychological conundrum)
It seems that these days most Americans understand that it is improper to spank children, so over the years I tried other methods to control my kids when they had one of "those moments."
One that I found effective is for me to just take the child for a car ride and talk.
They usually calm down and stop misbehaving after our car ride together.
This worked so well for my children that I now use the method on my grandchildren. I've included a photo below of one of my sessions with my grandson, in case you would like to use the technique.
Sincerely,
A Friend
