Kids aren't as astute at knowing how to meet their needs as we grownups are. Sometimes even we don't behave in the most appropriate ways to get what we need. A child is much less capable of identifying and articulating what they need, and instead they reach out through their behavior. What looks like "misbehavior" is actually a child's misguided attempt to fulfill a need that's not being met.

Any and every time it misbehaves would be my method. Severity of the action would depend on the circumstances but every infraction should be addressed no matter how small. Inconsistent discipline only creates confusion in a child's mind and creates more problems.

What one person considers discipline another person may not.
Try to concentrate on rewarding good behavior.  Even if it is something small-
Grandma really likes it when you pick up your toys.
Grandma really likes it when you eat all your lunch.
Start concentrating on rewarding behavior instead of picking out the bad behavior to punish.

Children need discipline and boundaries. They will act out if they don't have it. It needs to start at a very young age.

You can only control them when they are with you, and they need to know if they come to Grammy's house what the rules are. I think if you tell them they will not be allowed back they will come to an understanding. Good luck. Kids are hard sometimes.
