Most people think 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. 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 got told a story by a 50 year old guy a couple years ago how he had a huge fight with his girlfriend back in the 70s and she took the keys to his Bathurst Monaro and drove it flat out through the main street with him hanging onto the wipers at 80+ mph (he didn't want her to take it). Aparently half the town saw it lol (same town he and I still live in) anyway that was a funny story he told me once
