Stern voices and an explanation for most kids I know seem to be enough (also try asking the kids and talking it through at first, the reasons why they do it may surprise you). If you put the kid in time out where theres nothing for them to distract them from that might help (or sometimes doing something fun or an activity he/she would like to do and having them in time out helps get the poitn across). You can also take away privileges, but since its only a child maybe take away a toy or make them go to bed earlier. All depends on the child. But before you do anythign try to see why the child is doing it and have them voice how they feel, if they dont stop you'll need to restrain them (which from my exprience can frustrate them enough).

it is the result of a 3 year old being mistreated actually consequence is delight gained from vengeance... the best way to stop this is... don't piss off a three year old and find him something to do
-
Whatever you do, don't hit your child in response to them hitting someone/something else. That type of warped behaviour never solves anything.

3 minute time out, to think about what he did.

When I am close enough, I take the child by the hand that they use to hit with (restrain him), and then tell him he has to come in the bedroom with me until he decides to behave. With my sons and grandsons, that usually ended up being about 5 minutes. As soon as they told me they would behave, I let them come out, because it's not about punishment, it's about changing their behavior. If necessary to repeat, I would have him tell me what he did wrong and what he could do to change, so it would take longer.

I'd make them spell CONSEQUENCE 500 times.

Having whomever the 3-year-old hit, hit back! :)
