My children are arguing loudly and to make them stop I yell:

Enough!

Is that natural? Or should it be:

That's enough!

You say That's enough to tell someone, especially a child, to stop behaving in a silly, noisy, or unpleasant way.

Whereas, Enough gives more angry vibes because it, as we know, means something in an adequate amount. Therefore, saying only a single word (and that also in another reference) Enough is a bit rude.
