This isn't a thread by someone who wants to be on one of those Please Lord Lloyd Webber Get Me On The West End Stage shows.
I have discovered that "rules" explained in a cheery way a la Mary Poppins actually work very well in my house and am looking for more and am sure that there are lots more out there...
A friend who's a reception teacher taught my 3 y/o DS to actually clear his nose of snot by asking him to "wake the monkeys up". He properly blows down his nose when I ask him to do that.
I have adopted in a sing song/kill me now (*delete as appropriate) voice the rhyme from "I can cook" (with ovens beware, 'cos it's hot in there)
So, what little rituals, song and sayings have actually helped your children to behave?
There must be a "tidy up" song for example?
