Also, explain the reasoning behind you telling them "No!" Or "don't touch that/put that down!" When they ask "why" try not to say "because I said so"
Instead, explain the reasoning behind the correction. If it will hurt them/get them in trouble/harm others etc..
They are bound to defy you over again because the defiance comes from a place of ignorance.sharing knowledge of the world at a young age is key.
