Another thing I do if dd is rough with anyone is-I tell her that is not OK...and then for example if she has hit dh-I turn to dh and say"Are you OK? Can I give you a kiss? Did Leah hurt you?" And I pretty much pay no attention to dd. It takes the attention off of the offender-and puts all of the attention on the one who has been 'hurt' Helps break her cycle of trying to get negative attention.

I need SOMETHING to curb the 2 year old hitting, not the baby, but my long-suffering 6 year old.
Interestingly, I have some of the same behavior issues do deal with as the OP, but in reverse -- 2 year old whomping an OLDER child (who is almost out of patience).
