We have tried timeout and that is not working. Can someone give us some help with this?

I would tell her "no hitting" and remove her from the situation, maybe in a playpen where she can see the other children without her. The best way really is to catch her doing good things, like sharing, and praise her and tell her what a good girl she is. She will like the attention and start to pick up on when she get's the good attention.

Take away any toys she uses and put her into a playpen or crib with something soft to occupy her time. Keep doing this until she gets the point. A lot of child rearing is knowing when to change the subject, then doing it. Even with older children. They can get into a repetitive thought - like a looped recording - and end up obsessing about whatever the problem is. Often the simple act of breaking that thought by totally changing either the subject or (for younger children) the surroundings will be hepful. And by giving your young child something soft to play with you are 1) not punitive and 2) giving a non-verbal cue that, even if she were to hit herself, it would not hurt.

This may or may not sound like a good idea but my child had the same problem around that age. What I did was everytime she would hit anyone, I would take her away from the situation for a few min. and also take away a toy or two. I realized that smaking her on the hand or the diaper, just wasn't working, and wasn't going too. I hope that this helps you a little.

Only give her attention and affection when she behaves.
-When she hits someone, pull her aside calmly, and get down to her level.
-Tell her what she did was not acceptable, and why. Then put her in a corner for a minute or so.
-when time is up, tell her to apologize and say why what she did was wrong.
-then give her big hugs and kisses.
wash, rinse, repeat.

We got a spanking. Just a swat on the butt, and told that we cant hit, and were removed from the situation.
We never hit other children once we learned that lesson. We never hit anyone.
Toddlers live in the moment. Thats why time out doesnt work well with them, they forget why theyre sitting there before their butt hits the chair.
