What do you do to discipline a 3 year old and 2 year old?

I am struggling with ideas on what to do.
We have been doing the naughty spot for ages now, but not sure it has the desired effect on ds1 as he will come and display the same behaviour the minute he is allowed up.

Ds2 copies most of everything ds1 does.

I find if I shout, they shout back. So I try to be firm and fair, but I struggle with the fair.

i'd be very grateful if you could tell me what you do if your 2/3 year old throw toys, hit, shout etc etc.

I give stickers as rewards. When they sleep in their own beds all night, or eat all their dinner and so on, but I'm really stuck with what to do when they display a behaviour I don't like.
i don't want to over-use naughty-spot's (which is why I think it's not working)

Any help appreciated

TIA

I was about to write a very similar post myself SilveryMoon. It's really draining isn't it? I tried a 'time out' type thing but my ds (2.6) refuses to stay there and has to be physically held and I don't want to do that. He also will repeat the same behaviour and thinks by saying 'sorry' then that's ok. He is going through a stage of hitting me if I say 'no'. I'm hoping this is all toddler stuff but just makes me feel useless.

Sorry to be no help. The stickers as rewards sounds a great thing to be doing. I hope you get some good ideas.
