I think if it's someone else's kid, there's not much you can do except yell. It's just not really effective
Indeed. I'd like to have a dollar for every kid that some Modern Parent has allowed to run across our lobby during family-type shows, regardless of the danger of stairs or causing other patrons to trip. When I see this going, it's not going to work for me to find the parent and calmly reason with them, let alone the kid. What works is me to yell, in a glass-breaking fishwife voice, NO RUNNING! That stops them dead every time, and if the parent is offended they're welcome to a great big complimentary bowl of "I Don't Give A Spit."
