The funny thing is, the kids have actually been pretty good for a couple of weeks now. (It's kinda scary, in a way.
)
The :sternlook: works better on my students than on my own kids-- kids develop an immunity to this sort of thing from their parents. Here are directions: Tilt head down slightly, so you are looking at recipient through upper part of glasses (whether or not you have bifocals, or even normally wear glasses). Compress lips slightly. Furrowed brow optional. This is the important part: Think
loudly --but do
not say out loud-- "I
know you know better than
that."
