I regularly separate kids that can't be nice to others. It can be physical or verbal. I feel that everyone has a right to play/exist in a space without harassment so if by removing one child from the group we have peace and harmony I'm all for it.

I have a basket of toys and a spot for children to play alone when they can't get alone with others. It isn't a punishment for me so much as a natural consequence. Play kindly, lots of friends. Play unkindly, no friends at all.
