I too have a 2 yr old son who hits whoever is closer to him when he is angry. Make sure his environment is violent free. Remind him it is wrong to hit and that the other person's feelings are hurt. Let him know mommy doesn't like it and that the person being hit doesn't like it. Do this in a calm way. Help him understand. So far, my son hasn't been hitting others when he's angry. He throws tantrums but that is better than hitting. I hope you don't take the advices about hitting him. He is still a baby. He doesn't understand enough yet. How would you feel if you went to a new job and made a mistake and somebody smacked you because of it. Don't hit him, he has only been in the world for 2 yrs and that's not enough time for him to learn everything!

Give him a gentle but firm bear hug quick the next time he starts to lash out, just enough of a hug to keep him from hitting. Do not let go until he calms down, talk to him softly while you are doing this, explaining what's going on, and when he feels like hitting, or does hit, you'll have to do that to stop him, because hitting is wrong!
He may only be 2, but he'll understand well enough if you are consistant with the dicipline you choose.
Good luck! :-D

Before you worry about him having a fit you need to stop him from hitting people and being violent. You may not think so but that reflect on you horribly as a parent when you child does that even though people may laugh they are thinking " Im glad his not my child, or if he was my child he would not act that way." You need to check him at 2yrs old if not he will be hitting you at 22 years old, but teach him that he cant have evrthing he wants, but focus on respect teach him to respect you and what you say to him. ThATS SO IMPORTANT BECAUSE AT 2 YEARS OLD HE SOUNDS LIKE HE IS GOING TO GIVE YOU HELL.

You need to look at your reaction when you tell him no. You may need to substitute other words by changing the subject or giving him something else that you would be ok with. If he tries to hit, you try to prevent it but not make a big deal out of it. Just tell him you know he's upset or mad and remind him you don't hit. We are trying to teach kids to learn ways to cope with anger and frustration but sometimes they don't know the words.

My nephew used to do the same thing. If he does that, put him in time out and take away some toy that he likes. Tell him that if he does something that is not acceptable, there will be a consequence. And then when he does the thing he's not supposed to do, do it. He has to learn that you mean what you say. And that randomly hitting people is not allowed.

When he hits, remove him from the situation. Put him in the crib or play pen with no toys. Tell him hitting is bad and unacceptable. Leave him their for a few minutes (no more than 5) and then come back and talk to him about the hitting and why it's unacceptable. Keep it in terms he can understand: it hurts, its mean, you don't like it.

far be it for me to tell anyone how to parent... but here is a suggestion that worked for awhile with my son. we used humor and replaced the hitting behavior with another more controllable one. We had him cross his arms in front of him and growl. once the hitting impluse was gone and the habit or growling was in place... we worked on ridding him of that. Concepts such as emotion recognition and comprehension may be beyond a 2 year old. We worked on understanding that having anger, to a degree is o.k. and normal. It's the reaction that is important.

When my kid went through a hitting phase and I knew he was about to hit... I offered him a high five. this way he still hit but it was more appropriate. I would tell him to give me a high five, he would and then I would praise him for doing as I told him. This usually changed the subject and sometimes his mood.
No this won't solve all of your problems but sometimes it could be the help you want with out having to break out the big guns.
good luck

There must be a consistent punishment for bad behavior. Maybe he should have to sit in the corner for 10 minutes, ( after he stops fitting) or he can't play outside the next day, he can't watch his favorite show, what ever it is, it has to be the same punishment for the same crime every time.

- 2 Year Old Never understands talking and reason, too early, wasting time trying to do right thing in the wrong time !!
- (NO) is exactly the word that makes him doing it ....
- asnwer : be as quick as you can, grap him (put your heart in a fridg) so grap him, lock -or time out, you have to response quickly. (mom is serious)
- The main thing here is : let him know that you are having good time, by laughing, and IGNORING his cries.
HARD i know, but it works... 2 year old kid need ACTION not REASON, AFTER 4 year old, start reason.
i would love it if you give it a try and tell me the good results.
Hugs
