Whenever my daughter does something that I don't approve of, I'll say, "Excuse me!" or "Say what?"
It's my secret mom weapon, and it works most of the time. I have no idea what I'll do when she hits the teen years and stops listening to me.
What's your secret mom weapon? The stare? Bribes? Outsmarting the kids? Please share!

I have a couple of things that I say to get my children to realize they are about to enter a danger zone. I will sometimes use their first and middle name to get their attention, which is what several parents do or I will just make the comment that someone is doing something that isn't acceptable behavior. This usually gets them all to stop to think about if I am commenting about them or not. I also am able to use the "look" if the child just happens to be glancing my way.
