Tough Love vs. Spanking - Good Argument
Most of the American populace thinks it improper to spank children, so I have tried other methods to control my kids when they have one of "those moments."
One that I found effective is for me to just take the child for a car ride and talk. Some say it's the vibration from the car, others say it's 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 car ride together. The eye to eye contact helps a lot too. I've included a photo below of one of my sessions with my son, in case you would like to use the technique.
Sincerely,
Your Friend

(This works with grandchildren, nieces, and nephews as well)
I just got this from April, and I laughed for a while. I always get the best forwards from you April, thanks!
