today we went to chic fil a and he started hitting a child a little smaller than him. He did it because the other child tried to "cut" in front of him. How do I get him to understand that hitting is not ok?? It really freaked me out. It wasnt absolutely horrific or anything but the other mother burst into the child area and snatched up her kid and told me mine was a "horrible child" and made a huge deal out of it. I tell him its bad and that we will leave or put him in time out. Is it just part of the terrible twos? Anyone else have issues/ Had issues with their children hitting?

My daughter is 29 months old and hits. I think it is part of the terrible two's I just hold her hands down and say, "We don't hit!."
If she does it again she gets a time out. Don't say no, because that just makes them do it more. Don't say a word, just hold their hands down. Same with time out, don't say a word when you put them in time out.
Hope this helps.
