How do you tell a child to "stop" what they are do

перестань
прекрати
хватит

For example:
Перестань ковырять в носу. - Stop picking your nose.

"перестань" and "прекрати" are pretty much the same and mean "stop", "хватит" literally means "enough(of)'"

What about стоп? :)

All the stop signs in Odessa said стоп.

Also Mirage sings the following:
Я кричу тебе "Останься!"

Cool! Thanks Friendly! Kwatts, too when I typed "stop" into a translator it came back as стоп. (?)

I always thought it was "останавливать". It that way off?

Перестать means to stop doing something.
Останавливать/остановить means to stop a person or thing.

"Стоп!" is similar to the order "стоять!"

Though the former is more colloquial and the latter sometimes is rude.

'Booger' is a slang. I cannot think of any proper slangy equivalent in Russian.

I always thought that booger meant "snot of solid consistancy" wheras snot meant "snot of fluid or slimy consistancy"

They are both listed as slang in Random House's dictionary, though I've never heard the usage of "nasal mucus"

Final curiosity, would "перестань съешьте в козявка!" translate correctly to "stop eating your booger!"?

Another common expression - "сопли жевать" though it's usually used not with literal meaning :)
It means to idle, to do nothing thought you have to do something, to discuss something for a long time not making decisions.

Хватит уже сопли жевать, давайте принимать решение.

Do ye seriously think a sea-faring bloke like meself doesn't know how to spell avast correctly? Shiver my timbers, but may I be kicked in the pants and called Eleanor if I don't hang ye from a yard arm by the halyards of your jibs if you embarrass me in front of the entire crew like that again! :twisted: Throw her overboard, lads!

Пожалуста :) Не, ничё другого в голову не приходит. Хотя... можно сказать "благодарю", но это звучит более формально.
