  16 months old is too young for reasoning.
  The only thing you can introduce SLOWLY is the idea of timeout for mis-behavior. Find a quiet corner and try to put her in it for 15 or 20 seconds; tell her in SHORT CONCISE words why she is there....
  
  The best advice is to have patience. They're both just babies, and I know it's hard, but things will get better.
  
  They aren't purposely adding to your stress level..

  ...... you know , I became a full time mother just recently, my helper went home and I'm alone to do the job ,i think its for two weeks now.We just move in at the school where my husband is pursuing his master's degree. We are staying here inside the school where the family of the students stay . and you know what, I'm filled with stress. I have three boys ,2 yrs.old,4 yrs. old and a grade 2.
  I do the cooking, cleaning, laundry,bathe the children,help my gr. 2 with his ass.,everything,........ at night I'm dead tired. Stressful day all the time.But last thursday, I tried to help myself, I am worried I might get sick.
  First, I tried to understand my children, that they really love to play, they are adventurous that they keep on scattering things around the house, noisy and fight with each other at sometimes . I understand that we should not arrest them from their childhood. As a mother we want them to behave always and at all times to act like adult but ive learned that is a no no. now i felt like im enjoying staying in the house with my energetic , active and sometimes moody babies.And I think the stress im feeling everyday has gone away.
