Parenting Advice - Volume #1

Since we are perfect parents I thought I would share the secret to our success with our kids. You may have seen this floating around. It is my idea completely. Don't try to steal the rights or I'll sue. (Unless you are my sister Taunna. Then just thanks for forwarding this to me.)

Here it is:

Tough Love vs. Spanking - Good Argument

Most people 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. Eye to eye contact helps a lot too. I've included a photo below of one of my sessions with my son, in case you would like to use the technique.
