Tough Love - How to calm a child
Much has been said about "tough love" for misbehaving children. Most of America's populace thinks it very improper to spank children, so years ago, I tried other methods to control our kids when they have one of "those moments."
One that we found very effective is for me to 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 Billy, in case you would like to use the technique. Its very effective!
