Helping Hands, or Just Silly Ones?

November 04, 2008

As a diversion on this Election Day, I pass along this solution to behavior problems Down Under: massages for the naughty kids!

Better: Hands-on interventions of a different sort, aka discipline, and applied when the child is both behaving and misbehaving.

Interesting! Seems their priorities are way off. Get the cane back into the schools, that'll fix the misbehaving kids. and leave the reflexology for the teachers and parents.

Now the "naughty chair" becomes one of those vibrating massage chairs and the kids fight to be the worst so they can sit in it!!!!!!!!
