Title: Tough Love
Post by: Craig on November 29, 2007, 04:31:47 PM

Tough Love vs. Spanking (a psychological conundrum)

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.

They 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.

Sincerely,
Craig

How in the world did you produce virtual reality out of that dream you had the other night?

Craig,

You are a BAD man.

But, seriously, we need to be careful where and with whom we share this imaginative idea.

Some may think it's an actual photo of your child correction technique. 

Anyway, thanks for sharing.

Bob

It is actual correction, isn't it?

Not sure Dan,

Craig, being the chief moderator is above criticism  (smile)

In any case, I'm sharing the story with a friend so I guess it's o k.

thanks so much craig. i needed the laugh.  we all need to laugh once in a while because if we don't well then we just become "fanatical" in our faith.  i am thankful that God too has a sense of humor (how else could He have created it in us?). anyway, i loved the pic.
