clubber - that's the best advice I've ever encountered on t'interweb.
I'll be framing that.
Besides it's one thing to know the right way to deal with things about kids, another to do it...

What was the last naughty thing your kid did?
Izzi - bite Evie (she gets frustrated because Evie always wants whatever she is playing with)Evie - Push Izzi off a storage box they like to stand on to see the sheep in the farmer's field.
I know the next year will be bringing MUCH more naughtiness...

You could always try what I saw a chap on Eurostar do last Feb.
He said in a very stern voice to said child who was having a tantrum
"Pull yourself together, no-one wants to see this. Get a grip of yourself or we'll have to have a talk"It didn't work for him but it was amusing and it might work for you.

Tom - pushed over a bigger boy who'd just pushed his little brother over. It was in front of a lot of people so I went over and assumed the body shape of someone who is bollocking their child. I was actually saying well done but don't do it in front of people in future
Beech - tipped a bowl of cheerios plus milk over Tom's head.

Little trb - hit his friend over the head with a saucepan - a proper one mind, not a toy plastic one.

We have two steps and both seem to work.
The naught step and, the step above, the calm down step. I introduced it as a bit of a joke as teh youngest was having a hissy fit in reaction to her brother but wasn't being naughty. Strangely, it worked. If either of them get wound up, quite often, they'll take themselves off to the second-from-bottom step, for a bit of a calm down.

We have 22 month old twin boys and nothing works they are just mad:-)
We try the naughty step/corner which works some times. However often one escapes from the corner and when you try put him back the other one is sitting in the naughty corner laughing!!I find the best thing is consistency in terms of how we deal with naughty behaviour. The boys are going through a phase of biting/hittng and hair pulling at the minute so we just try and stop it before it gets out of hand. They know when they are being naughty but don't alsways seem to realise why they are beign punished.

Good for you. Personally I think sticking up for your little brother is important.

audiobooks work as a punishment... imagine jeremy clarkson reading every single one of TJ/elfin's posts on STW, thats enough to make any kid behave.

I really think that age is just too young to understand crime and punishment, tbh. Hence tantrums.

You have two weapons in your armoury as a parent, Chocolate Buttons and The Naughty Step.
Use them well.

People go out with their kids?

@molgrips Our friends have a naughty corner. You can always find a corner, but you can't always find a step.

one thing I find to be useful when talking to a small child is to get down to their level - so you have the same eyeline - and make sure they are looking you in the eye when you speak to them. I make sure I have their full atention by saying "are you listening to me" and waiting until they say yes before I say what I have to say.
I'm not sure if its a conscious thing or not - but kids seem to find it very easy to ignore what an adult is saying to them (if they don't like what it is you are saying).

Naughty step, consistency and actually doing what you say you will

Plenty of exercise and consistent bedtimes help a lot in the medium term.
Plus using his full name in a soft but steely tone.

Yeah but young enough kids won't make the link

Give them a taste of their own medicine
Throwing yourself down at their feet and kicking and screaming at the top of your lungs is a method that I've seen work to great effect..especially in a busy supermarket or high street
