Child Hitting Me

[Luke25]

So I've hard time with one of my daycare children for a while. I've posted about bin several times on here.
He bites and hits and screams the most high pitch scream when he doesn't get what he wants. He'll be 2 at the end of the month.
I just keep him by me at all times and stop him if he tries to push or hit and if he does get to someone I immediately separate him from the other kids for a few minutes for "time out" I calmly and firmly say "we don't hit, hitting hurts" and take him to his spot.
Well now he has started hitting me. If I don't do something he wants fast enough, or tell him no, or sometimes for no reason at all. Today I was reading a story and they were having a drink after playing out side. He needed more and I said "just a minute, after the story" and he threw his cup at my face really hard and screamed as loud as he could in my face. I stopped what I was doing and immediately took him to his spot like I usually do and he hit me on the way too. Any advice besides terming? I'm at a loss.

How long have you had him?

Does he hit others still if he is not near you or is he near you all day long?

Someone, somewhere is consciously or subconsciously reinforcing the hitting.

Other than just keeping him near you since you have more than likely tried everything you can to stop it, you may only have 2 choices (keep him by you forever or terminate).

I've had him since he was 3 months old. He was the most active infant I've ever seen. Constantly kicking his legs and moving his arms back and forth. Hit all of his gross motor milestones extremely early. Anyone who saw him commented on how he was so wiggly (in a nice, it's cute kind of way, not negative)
I have to stop him from hitting all the time. I don't let him away from me at all. If I have to do something he comes with or goes in a high chair for a second.
I agree. I've been trying to figure out why or what he's getting from it. A lot of the time he smiles as he does it and will fight me to keep doing it when I stop him. I feel like sometimes he gets over stimulated. I try to separate the kids some so it's quieter but I can't do that all day. I'm just not set up for it. All of my parents and friends and this family treats me like gold so I'm really trying to make it work and praying as he gets older and matures he will stop.

I'm going to pull the "gifted child" card on this post. If he is not being constantly challenged and mentally stimulated, he is going to act out like this. Most likely the parents are constantly "punishing" him for his behavior. I could be wrong but I would suggest the parents have him tested so they can provide him what he needs to function property. Otherwise he could end up as another medicated child.
