I'd say that I did it once or twice a month. Spread out enough to maintain novelty.
It did work with the same kid(s), but their mood would effect how well it worked at any given time.
I remember a little girl who had an incredible amount of energy and who was older than most of the class, so she had a default leadership role among the kids. She got this exercise more often than any other student, but other kids would surround her and do it with her as I talked, so I got a mass effect due to her leadership role. They really liked it. It did seem to work over and over again, especially if I followed it up by helping her find something to do (even if it was something as simple as stand patiently in line for the cafeteria).
It always worked, but the duration of the affect was a bit variable.
EDIT: I suspect the one-on-one attention from me was as much a factor as anything.
