Well that was the idea of what I was getting at. But it's also meant to be a metaphor for if you want to kid to not do a certain behavior, then don't punish him/her by doing it or by giving him/her the impression that it's good due to how you interact with others.

Probably using some higher-pitched, happy voice of "yea", "yes", "yay", etc... for behaviors you want and a louder, firm, more angry voice of "no" for undesired ones (except for yelling).
