Also the example of say Timmy hitting another child just getting a talking to about not doing the hitting,or saying you can hit the floor instead or something else like a toy, that is not something that he will not do again because he knows he will not be called on it and have consquenses for what he did. Choices are not something that will make someone stop a bad behavior because nothing will happen to reinforce the bad behavior to them. They need to learn what doing someathing they should do will mean to them so they don't want to do it again.
