With little kids, you'd be surprised at how much a time-out, threat of punishment, or even a stern look does.
My g-daughters are 7 and 4. The threat of being sent upstairs or going to bed early gets them to shape up most of them time.
Me: "If you guys can't stop fighting, then you will go to bed at 7:30 with no snack."
Kids:   OhmygoshAuntieViolet noooooo please don't take our snacks. We promise we'll be good.
