Are we talking 6 or 7 or substantially older? Because one age range, you've just had a lesson you need to teach highlighted. The other age range, it's time to get really pissed and help them find a job.
Edit: OP posted a good explanation in a different comment chain down below. She's 4.
Details: the 8 year old son was watching cartoons with his 4 year old sister. He was irritating her, poking her and she blew up at him, grabbed a controller lying in front of her (pictured), and in anger hurled it at the TV. The TV looked fine turned on (but like that does any good) but the inner LCD is shot. They won't be getting any TV, Switch or other screen time for the coming weeks. They both felt really bad about it, especially my son. The grandparents were upset but forgiving about the whole ordeal. Going to work with the son on keeping his hands to himself, and with the daughter on anger control. More library and outdoor time this summer.

I like how he’s still your son but she’s “his sister” rather than your daughter after this ordeal. I understand.
