General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters / child rearing | | English term or phrase: look of disappointment | On a document outlining a couple's discipline techniques with their children: "According to their two young daughters, discipline at home involves 'the look' of disappointment from their parents and being grounded."
In the U.S. we have a slang expression "to give someone 'the look'" meaning that when you've done something wrong (adults also), your spouse or parent will show the expression of disapproval on their face. |
