Make them work. When I was a kid my Dad would make me do work when I got in trouble. I would have to dig ditches in the yard and other pain in the ass chores.
Violence and ridicule towards children only teaches more violence. People who are abused as kids turn into dysfunctional adults who often repeat the cycle.
Nagging and only explaining what they did wrong has no logic in why it would work. That isn't even a consequence. Just an annoyance.
I remember when I was a kid punishment didn't keep me from doing it again. It just make me put more effort into not getting caught next time. I think most kids are that way.
Rewarding good behavior works better than anything.
