So I get off work come home yesterday and my baby is sitting on the couch with an ice pack on his mouth. So little background info so his 2 yr old brother decided he's going to pick up his brother's pup pad and swing it at him hitting him in the mouth splitting his lip and breaking his baby tooth :'( so now I gotta call his dentist tomorrow and hope that he doesn't need anything done but he might.. anyways does anyone have any tips ideas on how to get a feral 2 yr old boy to stop being so aggressive towards his brother? We have done timeouts, talking to him about gentle hands and asking him to show us gentle hands. But nothing seems to get him to realize it's not ok and he needs to stop.. most times he comes out of his timeout and he does it again. Normally it's a punch or a smack to his brother not usually a hard toy being swung at him...

Start taking stuff away. Toys, tv time, stuffed animal, blanket. Something he likes. So he knows when he does something bad the consequences is something taken from him

Fewer words, more action.
Directly and not for the third time.
Is he throwing something?
No warnings, take it away and say we don't throw toys.
Splashing in the bathtub? Bathtime is over, take him out.
It's not always easy but try it out if it helps you.
