Help!

I am raising a little clepto. He isn't even sneaky about his stealing, he just out right does it. I have tried everything I know of to stop this criminal behavior. Drew steals everything from Charis. I will give them both a measuring cups and he takes hers, two sippy cups = he has both, he takes pacis that aren't his. I have tried saying no over and over and redirecting him one thousand times in a row and I have even tried swatting his little hot hands (gasp, I know totally not pc). Today I even gave hers back and took his away, that was mean of me but I was desperate.
So, do any of you have any solid advice and how to turn my wayward child back to the straight and narrow? Poor Charis and I are tired of this behavior.

I have been trying to come up with advice on this, but it seems like everything you are doing is good-just keep it up. If he is anything like Carson, than on the 500th time he will probably get it! Not so encouraging I know-sorry! But don't give in or give up, because than he will realize he can just get away with it!
