what we do, each time our son hits we take one toy away for a week. each time he hit we take one toy for every hitting for a week. then he'll get the idea hitting is wrong and want his toys back. so far it has worked.

I had trouble with my son when he was 2. He was hitting and biting at daycare. At home I would put him in time out for around 2-3 minutes. Then I would talk to him about what he did and how we don't do that because it's not nice. Everyday before daycare I would talk to him on the way and go over how we don't hit, bite, pinch, slap, push, kick etc. I did this everyday for a couple weeks and it has stopped for the most part. On occasional push here and there, but no hitting, biting or anything like that. I think talking to your child is the best things, because even at 2 years old they do understand more than you think. Now today when I pick my son up he says mommy I didn't hit today and I always praise him.

First, understand that he is the center of his universe. Make sure all other needs are being met. Is he tired? Hungry? Wet? If all other needs are met then, say to the child "it hurts when you hit" "why did you hit?" and talk about alternatives. He needs the words told to him so he can express himself in other ways than hitting. Role playing is good also. I have used a naughty chair and time out for 2 minutes if all else fails. If you feel you need to hit your child, then you need the time out.

That is such a vague question. Why is he hitting? Do you have a new baby at home? Is he seeing this by example. Is the daddy hitting on mommy? Is he in daycare? Children learn by example. I am in no way saying that you are an abuser, BUT you need to look the outside factors of why this is going on.

start with 1-2-3 magic it is a discipline technique that if they do something you don't want them to do tell them no and say 1 do it 2 more times if they keep it up. By the third time if they don't get it place him in an area for timeout that he/she hates to go and only do it for 2 minutes. Rule of thumb for timeouts it is 1 minute for every year of age. I started with my son on it 2 weeks ago and we are making progress

Immediately stop them and give him/her a strict warning, telling them what they did wrong. A second offense, place them in a corner and force them to remain there for a set amount of time -- even if it means hovering over them for the entire time (9-10 minutes is usually good). That's what I learned from watching Super Nanny -- that pompous know-it-all.

Put them in time out every time they hit..
and do not hit them, spank them or raise your hand at them.
Teach them that hitting is not allowed from him or anyone else.

separation. generally hitting is their way of giving attention, if you separate the child from you or whoever they are hitting they will soon learn they are not getting what they want. so i would send them to their room, corner or wherever is away from who they are hitting.

hitting does not stop hitting.
Give him/her time out and take privileges away if time out doesn't help
