I've done some research and have discovered some new parenting techniques.

When communicating with your children, use a high pitched whistle.  This whistle counters whining, screaming, talking back, and eye-rolling.   If we’ve learned anything from Captain Von Trapp, the whistle is our best option to get kids attention… short of smacking them upside the head (which is what I’m sure he wanted to do with his boys who wore the Lederhosen).

If they're really bad, you can call the Nazi (or young Republicans) on them.
