Child Rearing - Tumblr Posts

Way back when I worked with kids for a while my colleagues asked me about how I got them to quiet down and listen so quickly whenever I was alone with them.

I just told them I didn't know because I thought it was embarrassing to admit that all I did was channel my inner Aragorn, son of Arathorn, heir of Isildur and Rightful King of Gondor.

I simply held my hands out palms down, and said, in a deep, quiet voice.

"Peace".

It was always met with complete and utter silence and a bunch of kids staring at me, confused.

Try it.
