A child must learn quickly there are consequences to disobedience. A sting on the hand reaching for a knife is one of those consequences quickly learned. I made a little switch out of a glue stick cut long ways into quarters. One glue stick can yield 4, foot long switches when cut properly with a razor or box cutter. The little sticks are flexible, don't leave any marks, and provide just the right amount of sting to get a reaction from the child.

One parent complained that her 2-year-old remained disobedient despite "the constant stream of welts on her bottom from the glue stick."

Technically, Ezzo moms suggest glue sticks, and Pearl moms suggest plumbing pipes. :/
