I'd watch some of that show with the British nanny and try the naughty mat... it seems to work if done consistently...
If I recall the steps correctly- 1. decide on a place for the naughty mat to be. 2. place child there when she or he is doing something that you don't want him or her to do. 3. Have a specified amount of time they are required to sit there. 4. Continue to put them back on the mat if they get off the mat. 5. Tell them why you are putting them there calmly and without any anger. 6. Persist and be stubborn in your expectation that they will sit there and continue to do so without passion. 7. At the end of each session on the naughty mat you are to insist on an apology and give them a hug so they know you still love them.
From what I've seen, it's hard work but with persistence and consistency they eventually start to listen and behave appropriately.
Good luck! (and thank goodness for warped friends *lol*)
