Sedate Your Kids While They Play 264
If your child won't sit still at the dentist, the doctor, or the kitchen table, you need the PediSedate Helmet. The device consisting of a colorful headset that connects to a game component or a portable CD player. After a snorkel attachment goes into the child's mouth, the helmet will monitor respiratory function and distribute nitrous oxide or anesthetic gas. The company website states, "The child comfortably becomes sedated while playing with a Nintendo Game Boy system or listening to music. This dramatically improves the hospital or dental experience for the child, parents and healthcare providers."

She was a Nazi, though, so probably not the best example.

I would take more of a compromise tack. Instead of opening a can of whoop-ass on your little delinquent, or using some wishy washy sedation on them, I suggest heroin*. It's both soothing and hardcore.
Also, a benefit of being their drug dealer is that you can cut them off when they have been naughty. It's a great disciplinary tactic, at least until they are big enough to commit drug-related crime to get more.
You can also ensure that your kids have only the purest and safest (relatively) dosages and that they use clean needles too!

Who needs an Adult version? After all, college students loved the Teletubbies. Any excuse for intoxication.

That's like tellin' Gene Krupa not to go [starts banging on the desk] "boom boom bam bam bam, boom boom bam bam bam, boom boom boom bam ba ba ba ba, da boo boo tss!"

Are kids really going to fall for that? They're not stupid. They know the gameboy or CD player works without that helmet. They're not going to suddenly be fooled by someone going "Jimmy! Your CD player needs this large, indimidating helmet, and a tube stuck down your throat to work!"
You'd have more luck taking House's approach, and take a hit of nitrous yourself before strapping it to the kid.
