Whatever the age of your child, it's important to be consistent in disciplining your child. If you don't stick to the rules and consequences that you set up, your child isn't likely to either.

It all depends on the context. If he starts hurting her the minute he sees her, there may be something that happened that you don't know about. But if it's when a visit starts or ends, he may be experiencing transition anxiety. It might help to talk to him a lot before Grandma comes to visit and give him plenty of warning when she has to go.
It might also be that he's overstimulated. If there are too many activities, sweets and unknown people and places, he may be acting out because he can't handle it. Try to have low-key gatherings.
Sometimes when my two-year-old is being really aggressive, we can get him to stop by pretending to cry. That seems to get the message across that he's hurting us. For us, spanking usually just results in more acting out. You do need to set boundaries and stick to them, but often being very calm and quiet will help your kid calm down more quickly than yelling and spanking.

Your son has an anger problem. Has he learned this from someone else (other kids or adults)? Are you in or an abusive situation or has he?
There could be alot of reasons and not knowing what is going on where he lives I couldn't give advice.
If it gets worse though I would seek help from a psychatrist dealing in behavior development.

Sometimes kids get angry at people they like because that person leaves them. So, if Grandmother is visiting and then leaving, he is showing his disappointment by hitting her--afterall, he probably can't yet explain his feelings in words.
Please do not label him as a kid who 'hurts' people unless he is really aggressive. I'd also recommend that you watch how she interacts with him. My former mother in law would hit and pinch my kids to make them behave. She also showed favoritism to one child and would tell the other one that he was bad. At first, my husband wouldn't believe his mother was being mean to our kids. We had to stop our kids seeing her.

Whoop his butt let him know who's the boss he is only 2 don't let him get any control because by the time he is 10 he probably will think he can hit and abuse woman and it will be your fault because you didn't do anything about while he was younger so you would be better off handling the situation now before you regret it later

babies naturally have instincts as to what people they sense are good and what people they sense are bad.Have you ever left your child alone with his grandmother?She may be doing stuff behind your back.Maybe it's a problem with aggression.Your son,regrettably.Just put him on time out,and ask his grandma what happened-Just try it and try to help him understand that she's OK,show your full trust and make him see what good and what's not.Even better,try showing him his best friends grandma,and how he/she treats her.Also,he may be going through the terrible twos.

Your child seems to be scared of his grandmother. I would keep him apart from her till he is a little older. Some small children are afraid of grey hair.
Or maybe she did something to him that you don't know about. I would not bring him to visit her for a while.

Is she old and vulnerable or is she strong and physically fit?
If it's the former, I think he is doing it out of a biological instinct which makes stronger beings ( species ) dominate the weaker ones.
If the latter is the case, it may mean that he is merely delighting in being naughty!

you are interpreting it in a different way than he is meaning it. 2 year olds don't even understand that concept. try to figure out what action he's doing that he likes or what he's trying to tell you, but don't give him labels like "tries to hurt nana," that just shows problems with you, not him.

Discipline him! Not only beat him talk to him let him understand what he is doing wrong. His grandma needs to put a stop to it too. A child will only do what you allow him/her to do.
