>just stares at a wall, you have now beaten learned helplessness into your own children.
Ooh yeah I remember that one. I couldn't make direct eye contact because that was taken as a challenge and I'd be beaten, but I couldn't look too far away either because then it looked dismissive or like I wasn't paying attention, and I would also be beaten. So I had to stare at the wall am just over his shoulder. You also need to maintain a completely blank facial expression, no anger, no fright. It was a very fine balancing act but I figured it out. Lol I didn't have to worry about dehydration though, I was a free-range kid I could drink out of any sprinkler head or hose. I probably have lead poisoning instead.
