i am currently looking after my 5 yo cousins every saturday but sometimes they are just so naughty for me.
they won't get dressed when i ask them, when i ask them to put their toys away they deliberately get more out and throw them around, if i take them to the park and say we have to go they run away in opposite directions so i'll manage to get one and the other is off then when i get that one i've lost the first!!
they constantly start food fights with one another and push and shove and i'm at my wits end.
they aren't just like this with me, they are like it with their mum but she is at her wits end with them and doesn't know what to do next. she tried the naughty step but they wouldn't stay on it and turned it into a game more than anything with their mum chasing them around the house. i thought maybe time-out where they were made to go into say the downstairs loo and the door was held shut so they couldn't escape. would this work or not?
most of it is that one of them will egg the other one on to do something bad.

does time-out work?(no luck with naughty step, pasta jars, sticker charts, distraction, ignoring them etc)
