5. No
That word is not spoken in the houses of my nephews.

We were out at dinner (a hellish time for me - the kids have no discipline) and my 3 Y.O nephew started sticking his hands in grandma's scotch to get an ice cube. I see this; remove his hand and say NO. He starts crying and climbs into his mother's lap and sobs for about 5 minutes.

This is not uncommon in the kids I see routinely.

A strong no and a gentle (yet firm) smack on the hand or rear will do wonders. I am NOT advocating spanking (though I have no problem as long as it administered with verbal backing), but children do not have the language skills to understand some dangers or appreciate outcomes of actions.
