I'm not a parent. It was done to me, twice to be exact, and damn straight it worked.

And I know it works a hell of a lot better than trying a "time out" when the 6 y/o is running around the restraunt yelling and screaming...

And many times, the mere threat of "going outside" is enough for a kid to sit down and shut up.
