No time outs, when he hits, I would reinforce it with redirection and words "Ouch, no hitting. Ouch. Use gentle hands (model here). Very nice. Gentle."

It is absolutely possible to keep him near you and separated from the other kids when you aren't around and I would ENSURE that I could do so. I have a new 2yo who bites, but only one dcg, so as long as I keep them separated, I'm good. Are there triggers you could reduce/remove? Is it one child?

What is your biting policy?
