    Have you tried saying what you want her to do rather than what you don't want her to do? When dd2 did this we would hold her hand and stroke my face saying "gentle" so that when she started hitting we could say " gentle" and she would know what we meant.

    She understands "gentle" as she has been taught how to be gentle with our cat.
    We've tried saying "Be gentle, DD" but that also just makes her keep hitting.
