20mo DS headbutting and hitting us

As far as I know he only headbutts me and DH, but he has been known to push and hit other children at nursery.

DS’s hitting has slightly improved but his headbutting is getting worse. Last weekend I thought my nose was broken as my whole face was sore for days. Tonight he burst DHs lip by headbutting - bleeding & badly bruised.

He occasionally does it when he’s upset but most often it’s just randomly when we’re playing.

He is pretty advanced for his age and his speaking is very good. He never seems to be hurt/ have a sore head from the headbutting. He’s a big boy and it’s a lot of force.

We’re pretty fed up - any tips?
