I put them in a room alone for that time period, let them out and if they resume the unwanted behavior, back in. If not, then they stay out. Usually they get it quickly if you are consistent.

My treatment to her majesty when she gets a bit 'peas above sticks'. However the more liberal nature of her mother seems a receptive 'court of appeal' for early release. Trouble is Irina can't see the ongoing change in her nature. Now I tend to ignore her generally and whilst she does scrape at my door, it soon passes and she's away to something else. As I said in five weeks time, the whole paradigm shifts for seven weeks.

There's no perception without contrast, but sadly only some have the vision, or the discipline to see see either?
