~ Tough Love vs. Spanking ~

(a psychological conundrum)

Most of America's populace think it improper to spank children, so I have tried other methods to control my kids when they have one of "those moments." One that I found effective for me is to just take my child for a car ride and talk. He usually calms down and stops misbehaving after our car ride together. I've included a photo below of one of my sessions with my son, in case you would like to use the technique. I hope it works for you as well as it has worked for me.
