So, we had 2 rules in the class that we recited over and over 1) bottom on chair 2) keep your hands to your self...and to reinforce these rules we played games..."Put your bottom on the floor! Put your bottom on your chair!" "Put your hands on your head! Keep your hands to yourself! (Hands would go into cute angel prayer position). So anytime during the "lesson" when someone forgot a rule...we would just say "Put your bottom on your chair!" and suddenly it was a game.To this day, I'll bet some of those kids would know what to do if you told them to keep their hand's to themselves (ask Sam). We had thhose kids trained in NO TIME! And we had the bishop's kids, and they were pretty wild. Forward these comments on to Sister Kamakaze and we'll see whose arms are flailing now...Carrie Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05713334380678578392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323946469515000921.post-44494442692462292852005-01-21T09:37:00.000-08:002005-01-21T09:37:00.000-08:00Rebecca- I'll be writing for that book asap.

Thanks for the help.<br><br>Suzie Petunia- Holden is my oldest and only child for the moment, so you can imagine all the time I spend obssessing over him. But thanks for the empathy. Good to know that it happens to other people!<br><br>Christian-thanks for the tip. I think nothing is the best thing to do. I'm so good at doing nothing, too. I make an art of it.Carlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09795034572517405008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323946469515000921.post-31051661004280421842005-01-20T23:41:00.000-08:002005-01-20T23:41:00.000-08:00I've called in a favor and Sista K's tires...I've called in a favor and Sista K's tires have been slashed. <br><br>But really, since I'm one of those guys from Mars, this is what I would do: nothing (or at least very little). Holden is a doll and there is no reason to make him feel bad about acting his age. I think we put (in the past and currently) too much pressure on our oldest, Sam. It's so hard to avoid doing this because our expectations are so high. <br><br>As for Sister K, it sound like she should volunteer for a position that she is more qualified to teach. I bet Holden will continue to (as the Primary President says) get better every week and maybe by June Sister K will stop flailing when she describes him.Christian Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01282201408085674988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323946469515000921.post-35671066430844905112005-01-20T15:29:00.000-08:002005-01-20T15:29:00.000-08:00I don’t have kids so I understand if you don’t tak...I don’t have kids so I understand if you don’t take my advice to do everything in your power to make her life a living hell and have her end up REALLY wishing she hadn’t messed with you, but I am pretty good at making enemies and being called five letter names… so if you need my advice in being really evil to her just drop me a line and I’ll send you my book. =)…<br><br>Oh… I’d begin by complaining to the bishop… say something like, “Sister K makes Holden feel like Jesus doesn’t want him for a Sun Beam.” If you feel this is too harsh you could always just make something up and say, “Sister K wiped food off Holden’s cheek with her spit and now he is sick..” <br><br>Best of luck… keep me posted.Alicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14883830476987878173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323946469515000921.post-26850819967573981652005-01-20T14:35:00.000-08:002005-01-20T14:35:00.000-08:00I'm with Kacy.
