Toddlers crave their parent's attention, so use that to your advantage, pay attention to the things your children do that are wonderful ; reward them for those with praise. Then when they do something you don't like, put them in time-out and take the attention away. Use that. That's how time-outs work.

Instead of shielding, help them learn the lesson, as long as they are not in danger, things like,' You didn't put your toys away, so instead of playing, you have to clean them up before we can play.' It takes parents out of the loop.

It's hard, because it requires, at least at first, a level of mindfulness and thought on what you are doing as a parent, parenting isn't easy. The good thing is that our children excuse us for the mistakes we make.
