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 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.

important element in achieving the desired results.
