[quote=Anonymous]Kids respond to calm, assertive energy. Not passive energy. Fear of authority is too underrated these days! Parents just threatening "no screen time!" In these shrill voices. Kids sense you're not in control. My dad would hang a belt on his doorknob the nights we were insufferable punks as a silent reminder of who ruled the house. (Never once ever used it but there was the fear!) The raised eyebrow stare down when a kid is out of line is effective. Then in a low, strong voice you tell them to "cut. That. Shit. Out." [/quote]
