Jeanette,
Forget flat daddy. They'll make a video with it. Invite them in to the kitchen or family room. (No bedroom visits was the rule in our house.) Play board games or cards with them. The dumb ones feel like fools when the parent wins and don't come back. The nice smart ones come back and hang out and can be fun. They'll even take out the garbage, move heavy furniture and wash the car if you promise to order pizza. We could never figure out why they all liked Dominoes. Yuk!
