Tough Love vs. Spanking

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 is for me to just take the child for a car ride and talk.

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, IPod, etc.

Either way, my kids usually calm down and stop 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.

Sincerely,
Your Friend




I think this will work with grandchildren, nieces, and nephews as well.

There's a little story behind this photo/email. My dad sent this out to our family a couple years back... but we ALL believed it was our brother, REED. If you knew him when he was younger, you would not have been able to tell him apart from the boy in the picture. His wording in the email was similar, but more personalized... which again, made us think it was real! I love this!!!
