Tough Love vs. Spanking
Most of America's populace thinks it very improper to spank children as
was the preferred method of yesteryear. I recently heard from a friend
who has tried other methods to control their kids when they have one of
"those moments".
One that she found very effective was to just take the child for a car
ride and talk.
They usually calmed down and stopped misbehaving after their little
outing together.
I've included the photo below of one of those sessions with my
friend's son in case you would like to use the technique.
