Sorry, checked my first draft, and it should read "I hope you´re going to be good and sensible" ("good and" is adverbial to sensible, not an additional adjective!)

just another option - "I hope you behave yourself" or you'll - depending on context
(que te portes bien - que seas juicioso)

agree  Carol Gullidge: snap (appeared while I was concocting my longwinded answer!)
4 mins
  -> Thank you Carol! Maybe you do need sensibly to stress it even further. In my mind, I added the warning tone I used with my kids. Thank you1

agree  Noni Gilbert Riley: Yes, that warning tone is soooo important (covering all sorts of tacit threats...!)
13 mins
  -> Thank you - and after the tacit threats, came all the explicit threats...Poor kids.

agree  kironne: I think depending on what you decide the syntax of the sentence will be, this is also an option
