The whole field of behavioral science is something that exists and looking there for hints what actually works might be a good thing. Afaik the studies say that punishment is worse than ignoring wrong behavior in terms of getting you the outcome you want.

Better even is giving positive feedback on positive behavior while of ignoring bad one.

And yes, I had a toddler brother and had to test this based on actual, stressful reality.
