This week a friend forwarded an email to me entitled “Tough Love versus Spanking”. I am not a big “forwards” person and to be honest, I rarely read them because I get too many. The title caught my attention though. I must admit, this little article was amazingly helpful and I just HAD to share this with you. If you have already seen this, you will still enjoy my little edit LOL! Here it is:

Tough Love vs. Spanking

Most of America’s populace thinks it very improper to spank children, so my spouse and I have tried other methods to control our kids when they have one of “those moments”.

One that we found very effective is for me just take the child for a car ride and talk.

They usually calm down and stop misbehaving after our little car ride together.

I’ve included the photo below of one of my sessions, with our son, in case you would like to use the technique.

Its very effective!

*Note: Yes. I did take the liberty of editing my own child’s picture into this photo. Helped me picture the method a little better:). I had to bribe Tanner with gummy bears tonight to get him to cooperate. It was worth it. Pay close attention to the speed trap posting…that makes this especially funny!
