He is quite young, and when they are that little you do have to just build a bit of a tollerance for the fact that they can't really be "disciplined" yet. By the age of 2 you can make more affect by telling them what they are doing is wrong, and using a time out or asking them to be nice. but at this age you can start all that but also keep in mind, his understanding is not quite there yet. I would, show him the kind thing to do, if he got caught hitting someone, I would tell him "no, that hurts _____" then have him give that child a hug. and say "aww. thats nice, _____, likes that more than a hit" and then re-direct your son to another area. other than that...not much you can do right now. He is learning how to communicate, obviously the child he is choosing to hit has done something, taken something, or your son wants something they have. that is the only way he can communicate right now. Once he starts talking, given you continue to let him know hitting is not okay through re-direction, he will begin to slow down on the hits and start "saying" how he feels rather than acting on it.
