My two and a half year old is hitting/punching

Help me. We've tried everything. My son learned from a bad babysitter that hitting was ok. Her son used to hit my son until I reported them to the cops and took him out. He only hits the other kids at daycare. He doesn't hit myself, my husband, or our youngest son. We have asked him. We have taken his treats and toys away. We've sent him to the corner. I don't want to spank because I feel that just encourages the hitting. I've researched hitting on the internet and just about every expert says that it is normal for his age. Any suggestions?

My son is three and he hits and throws things relentlessly at his two year old cousin who is a very gentle kid and his nine year old sister. We have tried time out, standing in the corner, sitting on his bed, taking toys away...and nothing! He hasnt stopped this behavior at all so far. Its been going on for about five months now. He is a great kid in every other way except for this. Where hoping it is just a stage. For now we just stick him in time out when he does it.

My grandson,who I have legal custody of since Jan. has a hitting problem also. He wallops me at times. I've tried everything also. I put him in time out, which he doesn't like very much, and that does seem to be helping. When he goes to hit me I say "Do you want to go in your playpen!" He actually stops and thinks about it...lol and it has helped. Still does it sometimes tho.
