You can see what the baby/babies is going to be by looking on the 'Family Screen'.
Like you I found myself scolding the first child for doing all those naughty things, but it made me feel bad.

With the other children I simply redirected them from the naughty activity to playing with their toys, in the sandbox, or studying and then would praise them for that. That seemed to instill better behavior in them without so much scolding..., and it sure made me feel better doing it that way. LOL!!!
