Pilot Father's Tough Love

Most people nowadays think it improper to discipline children harshly, so I have tried other methods to control my kids when they have had one of 'those moments.'

Since I'm a pilot, one way 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 behaviour.

I don't know whether it's the steady vibration from the engines, the beauty of being in the air, or just the time away from any distractions, but it seems to always work. Whatever it is, 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...

When Noah sends his animals to go forth and multiply, a pair of snakes reply “We can't multiply, we're adders” — so Noah builds them a log table.

LOL!

Doubt they even know what they are....you can look all the Log and related things you might need in most scientific calculators.

I recognise the kiddie - definitely seen him on the bonnet of a car...

We had wipers on ships - pretty useless most of the time - Kent Clearview Screens were much better...
