Oh I hear you honey...Ive had a fat lip, nice bruise on my eye and a nose bleed to mention a few from M hitting and head butting me.
He still does my head in and hits the other kids....I think its his warped way of getting attention (not that he need's to do that) can he laughs when he does it.
I have tried holding his hands when he does it...to no avail
Ive tried yelling NOOOOOOO and all it does is make him drop his lip for 1/2 a min and he does it again.
Done the remove naughty child from situation .....blah...no way
even slapped his hand when he did it once...nutta!!!!

So now we just get up and walk away with out saying a word. It hasnt been easy..its taken a little time but its working. The other thing that we have found working is Jed telling him no hurting no hitting quiet forcefully while I or the kids move away from him. You both really need to wrok together to make it work...and silence is a killer of any fight or exgressive behaviour in anyone

babe..its bloody hard being a mum sometimes
