I believe this could be used as a national technique in the public schools for the child that thinks discipline is for others, not for them. This would help them focus on what's important in life.
Who knows, this might catch on.
Most people nowadays 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 that I have found very effective is for me to just take the child for a flight during which I say nothing and give the child the opportunity to reflect on his or her behavior.
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 of one of my sessions with a neighbor kid, in case you would like to use the technique... WORKS WITH GRANDKIDS ALSO...
