...my learning disabled child....threw soda all over my kitchen floor in a rage. So I... put a rag in her hand, and... we scrubbed that floor for about half an hour, she was probably 6 at the time. When we finished, she never did anything like that again. Provided it is done matter-of-factly or even with humor and affection, that is absolutely brilliant. Great job, mom!

Yep, matter of factly with as little as possible communication other then letting her know why we were doing it.
