The salty candy in the store is great for punishing bad behaviors without causing happiness level to drop. I have never had the same child repeat the behavior after using the candy on them, although others have not reported as much success. I really don't like to use the red hand, but dish banging gets to my last nerve! I can't even stand to have an adult or teen clean the counters because of that sound. If I have a kid that is elated and I know it won't hurt their happiness level too much, they get the red glove. If they are still very young (2-3) and their happiness has not yet raised, I just snatch them away and put them at the desk to make them study / do homework and give them a green glove for that. Basically, train them with the green glove to do things you would like for them to do until they "forget" about doing the bad things you don't want them to do.
