My neighbour is in the Guiness Book of World Records, he's had 43 concussions. He lives very close, in fact just a stones throw away but that's not the point...
Most people think it improper to spank children, so I have tried other methods to control my kids when they have one of 'those moments.' 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.

Sweet little Nancy was in the garden filling in a hole when her neighbour peered over the fence. Interested in what the cheeky-faced youngster was up to, the old lady asked, "What are you doing there, Nancy?" "My beautiful little goldfish died," replied Nancy tearfully without looking up, "and I've just buried him." To be polite, the neighbour sounded very sympathetic: "That's an awfully big hole for a goldfish, dear, isn't it?" Nancy patted down the last heap of dirt and snapped back, "That's because he's inside your stupid, ugly cat!"
