I always look for a good opportunity to praise a child because it makes them feel so good (me too).<< I use a siren whistle and call it the “Thank You whistle", which I blow when someone says thank you. And you’ld better believe the kids remind you if you forget to blow it. Sometimes I use a bulb horn and give them a beep. peace, Joe
