Spanking vs Time Out?


I received the following funny email today:

Spanking vs. Time Out... (a psychological conundrum)...

Most of America thinks it's either wrong or bad 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 a child for a car ride and talk. They usually calm down and stop misbehaving after our car ride together.

I've included a photo of one of my sessions with my son, in case you would like to use the technique!

That might work! I have felt that way at times!

Dude, you parents got it all wrong. That kid is having the time of his life! That is not the face of fear, but of awesome. It's basically a home-made roller coaster, and from the looks of it, it's going way faster than any theme park ride ever would. Strap me down to that...yes please!
