Most of America's population think it's 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. They usually calm down and stop misbehaving after our car ride together. I think this will work with grandchildren, also.

I've included a photo below of one of my sessions with my son, in case you would like to use the technique.
