Joke: Do not spank your kids, just talk to them

Most of America 's populace thinks it improper to spank children.

The other day I was speaking to one of my younger buddies about discipline methods.

We talked about 'time outs', grounding, holding back 'rewards' until the child displayed desired behavior, etc. We discussed spanking and my friend explained that he does not spank his children.

He said he takes the misbehaving child out for a ride in the car and a talk. He said that usually this works, that the child calms down fairly quickly and it really doesn't take too much time.

By removing the child, in this case his son, from the immediate situation and providing a change of scenery, the child is allowed to focus on something different. Once the child has the opportunity to change perspective, things get better quickly and the child has better understanding of his place in the family and begins to understand.the family's concept of acceptable behavior.
He kindly shared a picture of the process which I share with you now.
