When I discipline Brandi, I give her a very firm sometimes loud no. That usually stops her but if it doesn't, I simply place her away from me and that works everytime. I will put her in either the bedroom or the bathroom for a 10 minute timeout. Since she hates being away from me, that usually works....most of the time.
