A PILOT FATHER'S TOUGH LOVE

A Pilot Father's Tough Love...

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 behaviour.

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 would like to use the technique...
 
 
 

Should work with grandkids also.
