Teasing That Won't Stop

Question

My husband and I are battling a problem with our 4 year old daughter teasing her 6 year old brother endlessly. We have tried disciplining her and extensive time in her room, but it does not seem to be getting through to her. She will call him silly names, nag him to death, or say something about him that isn't true. Unfortunately, he is very easily provoked by this. As much as we keep trying to tell him to ignore her, or walk away, the teasing always "gets" to him. I feel his pain! And somewhat feel at a loss for what to do to get her to stop. She does not seem to be malicious about the teasing, and she typically teases him with a smile on her face. She loves getting a rise out of him. And we are so tired of it!
