When I gave my speech on what was expected, I gave it like a Drill Sergeant. I even had kids ask me if I had been in the service. Then later, when they were well behaved, I would loosen up and have fun with them. I´ve never, ever, had it work when I went in as a loving, giving soul and then tried to get tough when things fell apart.
