That's great, provided they are well diciplined children. But it has been my experiance that children who like this "little monster in training" are screaming for "extra dicilpinary training"

Sorry to disagree.

If anyone needs a spanking, then its the parents who allowed this little monster to come into being in the first place. But spanking the kid for the first time in his life at this point in time would only cause the child to wail uncontrolably for the next two hours, even if the brat is strapped into the seat. Since spanking is not going to produce a positive result, why bother. When my kids were that age, we actually went through a dress rehersal using the kitchen chairs as airline seats and my belts as seat belts. I explained to my kids using age appropriate language why we all had sit calmly and quietly in our seats and wear seat belts and follow the directions of the flight crew. And rather than threatening to spank the crap out of them for bad behavior, I promised special treats (trinkets from the Dollar Store) throughout the trip for good behavior. Worked like a charm every time.
