Great!  Glad it helped. :)

For our son(5) we give one warning. After that his favorite toy gets taken away. Then a privilege gets taken away if he continues such as a sweet dessert or watching pokemon before school. By then he has stopped usually. We learned a while ago that time outs just didn't work for him.

 

Good luck!
