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

Ah hahahaha! I was reading wondering how you were supposed to have that "eye to eye contact" while driving...
ReplyDeleteby the look in the mirror you might have had your door open by the light. Pretty scary. Then you had to chang his pants. I'd try another avenue
ReplyDeleteMy guess is this is staged. The car appears to be on the sholder of the road. But the point was well made.
