Most people today 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 method that I have found very effective
is for me to just take the child for a short flight 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 engines, 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.
I’ve included a photo below of one of my sessions with my son, in case you’d like to use the technique.
It’s a joke people. Don’t get your knickers in a twist.
