This is more of a "maintaining order" suggestion: We have used sign language with our kids since they were toddlers--nothing fancy, just a few signs. One is the "no" sign. Instead of always saying "no" and everybody being aware of it, we just put our thumb together with our index and middle finger. It is silent and avoids constant interruptions during reading time or conversation. It is very effective and the kids don´t feel as if they are constantly being told "NO!"
