Kids are like... well, most people.
If you give them a force to push against, they'll push. If you pull the force away they'll fall if they keep pushing.
If you can, take all the personalities away from the problem at hand. Try not to do anything when you're annoyed, and make the consequences of their behavior as impersonal as possible. Good natured even.
