The Look (also termed The Dad Look or The Mom Look)is a colloquial term for a parenting strategy that consists of simply expressing disapproval to de-escalate a child's perceived wrongdoing.

The Huffington Post described it as "Your child starts to know this look at a young age. The look your own mother gave you when you were younger, and you swore you would never give that look to your children. But now you do. That one look is all you need. No words and your children know you mean business."
