You got to figure out what their "currency" is and use it against them. This is what we had to work out at our daycare because one thing doesn't work for all kids -- especially not mine it seems.

For example, my one boy is a "positive if, then" kid. So, if he does something RIGHT, then he is rewarded (sticker, tatoo, etc.)

My other boy is a "negative if, then" kid. So, if he does something WRONG, then he gets something taken away (time on the swimgs outside, computer time, etc).

My other one is the "time out" kid. Put him in time out when he makes poor choices, and he cools down and comes back ready to behave.

You might have to try different things to see what works.

And I agree that "cozy corner" sounds like a reward, not a punishment. Noel would be doing crazy crap just to get sent there. lol
