People think their wild little brats are angels. Oh its not THEIR kids that terrorise the single mum into a nervous breakdown, its not THEIR precious offspring that throw eggs at the elderly ladies windows at night making her afraid to leave her home. Little sh*ts.

Many people today think it improper to discipline children and so I have tried other methods to control my kids when they have one of 'those moments.'

Since I'm a pilot, one method I have found very effective is for me to take the child for a 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 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 a VERY important element in achieving the desired results!

Curious? See a photo of one of my sessions with my son in case you would like to use this technique….

PS Oh, I have yet to check, but I do believe this method will also work well with Grandchildren.
(I truly cannot think of one reason it should not!)

Do let me know - you wonderful disciplinarian, you!
