I haven't looked up what the UK decided, but what I do is this: I made the switch (no pun intended) from none to some. I have two yunguns and being solely responsible find that I can not maintain the necessary amount of attention they demand all day - and night - long. So, after they've been ignored (chores attended to, or even just a shower) and due to lack of naps/lots of stimulation/lots of sugar they run amok. And I am telling you my persuasion doesn't always have impact. But now I can give the ole-, 1, 2, 3 or else, and they seem to calm down by three, or a reminder of what may be next. And so the need becomes less too. Not proud of it, but sometimes not enough energy or creativity left over to deal, well, properly. Plus, i do give lots of hugs and love and reasoning too.
