I like the idea of telling the students that it is the bahavior that we are unhappy with and not the student personally. I will have to remember to use this, or a form of this when I become a teacher.
I have a similar worry to this one for when I get to the teaching stage. I am a very large person; tall as well as big. I have already experienced having people fear me because of my size. Actually, it was other adults who feared me, not children. My daughter told me when she was in Junior High, that some her teachers were afraid of me. My experiences with children have always been good. Children seem to be able to see inside you, to see the inner child who can relate to them on a one-to-one basis. They know you are nice/fun, even if you are occasionally loud. The children will respond to this, rather than to how loud you are when you teach.
