Siblings fighting

I’m at my wits end 😅 in the last two days my girls have gone from playing nicely together (eldest is 4 in October and youngest is 19 months) to constantly fighting. We have just had a 10 minute scrap of the youngest hitting the eldest and the older one throwing nugget couch pieces at her sister and constantly
pushing her over. I try and distract with toys and games but always ends the same way. I’ve tried explaining to the older one that she can seriously hurt her sister and how would she feel if someone bigger than her came up and pushed her etc but words arnt working. Resulted into picking the big one up placing her in another room but nothing seems to be working. I’m on my own with the kids all day every day until about 6/7pm so got no support/ relief 🥲
