best way to handle such wild kids... join them in fun
with certain families, their kids get unruly
so I join them, and the parents suddenly find themselves in astonishment, confusion, bewilderment, having lost control of the situation... then they laugh and laugh and laugh
laughter is the great cure, an Irish formula
sometimes in grade school with a teacher who I was misbehaving with, I would burst in laughter, look her in the eye, give her that coy cute brat eyebrowed look, and she would break into laughter herself... usually saying something like "ok, enough fun, now let's figure out our next lesson, smiling" .. those were the GOOD teachers
when I taught classes years later, I was sure to inject humor on occasion, not often
I would be overwhelmed with children during these past two years
I know what you mean
