[size=large]Most people nowadays think it improper to discipline children, so I have tried other methods to control my kids when
they have had one of "those moments." Since I'm a pilot, one that I have found very effective is for me to just take the child for a flight in the
plane during which I say nothing and give the child the opportunity to reflect on his or her behavior. I don't know whether it's the steady
vibration from the engine, or just 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 flight together. I believe that eye to eye contact during these sessions is an important element in achieving the
desired results.
