If I were to have a child, I think it would be a cool idea to speak only in a British accent around it. Only allow it to watch British TV, radio (NPR will do) and film, and by the time he or she goes off to elementary school, presto! British sounding kid.
Then, sometime around age 11 or 12, suddenly stop the accent around the poor thing. When he or she asks what happened to my voice, I'll counter by asking him why he's talking funny.
