Anytime I have a dcp dropping off or picking up, or anytime I have my inspector over or someone stops by, I have a few kids who lose their minds. I lose all control of these kids and chaos breaks out. My stress levels go up anytime someone opens the door

When I know someone is coming, I will have a talk with everyone beforehand and explain that they need to stay in their seats and follow the rules. They all say "okay", but as soon as someone opens the door they get up, run around, yell, etc.

We do stations at the end of the day (pick-up time), so everyone is busy doing something. I also hope it keeps them in their seats. But, it never fails. They get up, run around, start chasing each other as soon as someone comes in. They forget all my rules. I will tell them to go sit, stay in the chair, etc. and they sit for 2 seconds then are up again.

I don't want to yell at the kids in front of dcp, but I have to keep control.

Any advice?
