[quote=Anonymous]There is not one way to raise every child. Each child is different and lives in a different environment which also plays a big factor in how our children see the world.

Some children really want to please their parents/caregiver so they really respond to them letting the child know that they are disappointed in the child's action and that they want them to do better but for now they need some time separated from them. 
Sometimes times Time out works perfect. It gives the child a chance to calm down so you can talk about the problem.
Taking favorite toys/activities can be very effective but remember just like adults, children can get use to not having and not doing certain things. They are human and us humans evolve and adapt to our situations. 
Some children respond to spanking very well and some don't. This doesn't mean don't talk to your child first and let them know that their actions are getting them in trouble.

In some cases a hug can really calm a child down so you can figure out why he/she is hitting period.

The bottom line is if your child is acting out, first communicate with them. Helping build communication skills will help when trying to figure out what is going on their little minds. We parents like to think we know everything that's going on with our children but it's not that simple. Children see many things that they don't understand on media and when they are away from their parents each day. They may even imitate some of those things. Also, children are sometimes afraid to talk about things that are happening to them at school, with friends, outside the house. As parents we have to open the line of communication. Unfortunately, the wrong punishment can close the door to the child opening up and their may be a more serious issue underling a child hitting.
