I am not so sure if there is a fact to this. But it sure is working with Moe.
Whenever Moe gets excited, he becomes extremely noisy. And this isnt only irritating, it sure is also frightening.
Our nanny told us that one of her friends in school (she stays with Myca in school), told her to try this.
SPRINKLE SOME WATER (really just a little tap from the faucet) STRAIGHT TO HIS FACE We have tried it a couple of times (since Sunday night, Oct 3 2010), and so far so good. I think it's the cold sensation that shifts his attention to the water drops on his nose. But he really stops and sits and obeys!
