Tough Love vs. Spanking

It seems that these days most Americans think it is improper to spank children, so over the years I tried other methods to control my kids when they had one of 'those moments.' One that I found effective is for me to just take the child for a car ride and talk. They usually calm down and stop misbehaving after our car ride together. This worked so well for my children that I now use the method on my grandchildren. I've included a photo below of one of my sessions with my grandson, in case you would like to use the technique. Sincerely,A Friend
(Disclaimer: I don't do this with my kids.)

My mom forwarded this email to and I couldn't stop laughing for the longest time. Then, the next day at school, I'd think of it and start grinning in the middle of class. Thanks for making me grin, again!
