When a child breaks a house rule here, my serious mom voice shouts out "SIT". They sit down right where they are.

Yep dude, you lost toy privileges.

He's only got access to the baby area until he shows me he can play nice and follow rules.

btw, I still have a baby area of my playroom, even though technically I don't have any babies enrolled. So, no babies get hurt. Nobody really likes playing by themselves. It gets old, fast.
