Most of America 's populace think it improper to spank children.









The other day I was talking to one of my younger collegues about methods





used to discipline children.









We talked about 'time outs', grounding, holding back 'rewards' until the





child displayed desired behavior etc. One of the things we discussed was





the act of spanking and my friend explained that no, he does not spank any





of his children.









He explained that what he does is to take the misbehaving child out for





a ride in the car and talk. He said that usually this works and that the





child calms down fairly quickly and really doesn't take too much time.





By removing the child, in this case his son, from the immediate





situation and providing a change of scenery, the child is allowed to focus on





something different. Once the child has the opportunity to change





perspective, things get better quickly and the child has better





understanding of his place within the family and begins to understand





the families concept of acceptable behavior.
