Politically Correct Discipline.

This is not my story.  I don’t know who wrote it.  But as a pastor, I am always looking for information to help those in my congregation to be better parents and grandparents.  So, when my friend Kirby sent me this story, I knew I had to post it to share with each of you struggling with unruly children and creative ways to get them to obey.  This may not work for everyone, but I do recommend you try it.

God bless each of you!

A Pilot  Father’s 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 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 below of one of my sessions with my son, in case  you would like to use the technique.
