This is a common problem and there is a page dedicated to it - click here.

You might want to look at the "Play Nicely" multimedia resource - I don't have any affiliation with this product but it has shown good results in research studies where it has been shown to reduce hitting and biting behaviors in young children - to find out more, click here.
