Why are Hispanic children so well-behaved?

[DD]

    The secret is Hispanic culture, which emphasizes boundaries, developmental growth and a traditional technique known as La Chancla.

    For centuries, the secret of La Chancla has helped millions of Latina moms:

    Focus attention to each child's unique needs.

    Instill values of fairness and fair play.

    Encourage healthy eating habits.

    Learn the discipline required to excel in academics.

    Moral reasoning.

    La Chancla can help every parent master a truly hands-off parenting style.

This little video illustrates how it works.
