I wish I had advice. It's not because Josh never does stuff...he definitely does. With Josh, the word NOW seems to work if I say it sternly enough. "Josh put the scissors down." he doesn't do it. I ask again more harshly "Josh put the scissors down NOW!" He looks at me and in his best smart alec voice says "Okay! FINE!" and puts it down. And in my sweetest happy voice I say "Thank You."
I have no idea how that started working - but it works for us.
I wish I had better real advice.
Hopefully someone is able to answer with something more substantial.
