He attacked his brother at home, just as he attacked other children at school. His attacks on his brother were, of course, linked to his feelings of being unwanted and unloved at home. They also ensured that his mother took notice of him. Similarly, his attacks on the other children at school gained him the teacher's attention. Once he had the teacher's attention, e.g. when she talked to him, he could be very appealing.
