The red hand actually works for you emri? I've tried it several times for several different things and have found it does no good at all.

What does work for me though is to pick them up from whatever they are doing that is bugging me (writing on the walls, jumping on the bed, digging a hole to China and banging the dishes -- I don't buy the fish tank for them anyway) and putting them somewhere else such as the toys, the sandbox, the pool, the radio, etc. and then praising them. I've found over time, that this works way better. They stop doing the things that I don't like and only do the things I do like.

Although I have found that the red hand does work better on the adults, but the only thing I scold them for is the Popping a Pimple thing, that drives me nuts, lol!
