Generally speaking, with my three kids, if they act up and do that we take away the fun stuff. First it'll be the immediate reach toys, for my oldest, she'll have her tablet / game time taken away completely. My middle daughter, she loves to wear dresses, so we'll take those and put them in a separate container where she is not allowed to wear them (she has to wear normal t-shirt and shorts/pants). They hate it, but then forget it was taken away. Later they'll come crawling back and ask if they can have it back. This is when we ask them why we took it away and try to make it productive. It generally depends on what they did to get it taken away to begin with.
