Mama's Ramblings

The story that I have put below was e-mailed to me by one of my friend's, Kristen. (She is actually my 3rd or 4th cousin or something like that...we found that out in college when rooming next to each other.) I have to tell you that while reading it, I thought, "YEAH RIGHT...THIS WILL NEVER WORK", but then after seeing the picture, I might just have to try it.

HERE IS THE STORY...


Tough Love vs. Spanking - Good Argument

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.


I think this will work with grandchildren, nieces, and nephews as well. Do you think it will work on husbands?!? Not that I need to do this to mine, but I know of a few people I work with that need some help in this area. :-)
