[quote=Anonymous]When we first moved here, we didn't have any choice but to bring the kids because we didn't know anyone yet. I apologized afterward to the teacher, who was understanding about it. In some cases, there's nothing else you can do and this is one of those times. Let them play on a phone or tablet. Download a game or two that they want (and mute the sound on the phone, please!). You might also let them bring a book -- or a coloring book and crayons to color a picture while the teacher does his or her presentation. If there is a table at the back of the room where they can sit, send them there. Have a talk with them beforehand about the behavior you expect, and why. No running, no screaming, etc. Tell them you'll buy them an ice cream cone afterward if they behave well. Bribery works. [/quote]
