Not that that means the hitting is ok but at least you will have found the trigger to work on.
My own daughter hit dcg today and I was shocked! I firmly said NO we dont hit and removed her from the playtime into the kitchen with me. As she went back to play I was hearing dcg whimpering....I stood in the back doorway to "spy"...well dcg was trying to force my daughter to sit next to her, my kid was pushing her away over and over again until wack! I went over and again said that hitting isn't allowed and to say NO I don't want to or to call me ---- then I turned to dcg and had a talking with her too. You cn't MAKE ppl do things (she has a bad habbit of being a "boss" directing others, barking orders that would come from an adult etc.)

So yeah I'd try to figure out why...
