Asking for a friend - what stops hair pulling with toddlers? She’s tried everything

Pull the toddler’s hair so it hurts.

Don't do this.

What methods are used to discipline the child?

Depends on the age of the toddler but generally I handle things this:
First time “Don’t pull her hair”
Second time “If you pull her hair again you will have to go to time out/sit on the stairs etc”
Third time - take/put them on the stairs/corner/wherever for 1 minute per year of child’s age. After set time is up, go and explain again why they were in time out, they apologise, you give them a hug.

Toddler only 15 months - don’t think could understand time outs etc? No words so seems frustrated, keeps doing it (laughs) doesn’t seem to understand the No

Has tried removing them from situation, stern voice, trying to get there in time before every time, ignoring toddler after for a short while , whilst comforting older child until behaviour stops

My toddler does this to older sibling too. Haven't found anything yet which stops it. I think he does it for attention as I always respond. I tend to remove them from the situation (put on the floor or away from sibling) and ignore for a minute as he doesn't understand sitting on the step on a time out. Then explain why we don't pull hair and they have a cuddle.

Definitely don’t pull the toddlers hair! JFC!

I would remove the older child from the situation and go and play with them for a bit. Give the toddler lots of separate attention. When he’s acting up take older one out of the picture and ignore the toddler. Rinse and repeat.
