but when used here,it gets even funnier.





Most people nowadays think it improper to physically 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 below of one of my sessions with my son, in case you would like to use the technique.



SHOULD WORK WITH GRANDKIDS AS WELL.

You keep rockin little brother..Be safe,I love ya!



Breaking News 7am Headlines Noon Headlines 4pm Headlines Video Alerts N.C. Trooper Jack

11/18/2010

Raleigh, N.C. — Trooper Jack L. Thorpe was awarded the North Carolina Department of Crime Control and Public Safety's highest award for service Thursday.



Thorpe earned the Distinguished Service Award and Highway Patrol Meritorious Award for going beyond the call of duty and using what a supervisor called "outstanding judgement" when he suspected a trio of children was being abused.



Thorpe stopped a car en route to Myrtle Beach and noticed signs of abuse among the three children inside, the highway patrol said.



After trying unsuccessfully to locate help for the children from social services, Thorpe got permission to take the children to his home, where he cared for them until their mother could arrive.



“His level of service exemplifies what it means to be a state employee - to serve others,” said Col. Michael Gilchrist, commander of the Highway Patrol.



Thorpe has other accolades on his record. He received the department’s second highest award in May 2008 after performing CPR on a woman who suffered a heart attack after a crash on Highway 70 in Clayton. Doctors credited him with saving the woman's life.



A month later, he helped deliver a baby for Beverly and David Simmons.

I read more and more articles about officers not performing in the publics best interests (news articles pointing out flaws in our peace officers sell more newspapers, I guess). It makes me feel good knowing there are police officers like your brother looking out for and protecting those who can't protect themselves.
