Ha! Here are two options.

1. Pose an ultimatum: stop doing that or go home.

2. Join him.

Option no.2 is tempting. Unfortunately the ceiling in my studio is rather low and I would end up hitting my head on the ceiling.

In order to calm a student I find being calm myself and keeping them entertained in the task at hand is the best way to keep them under control.
