My GGG trips are constantly hitting, biting etc... Time outs don't work yelling with a stern voice nothing does anyone have any suggestions and is this normal or not?

whats their age??
mine do the same but with "time outs" it seems to lessen down. I have one who still bites but not his siblings he bites ME when he's mad. i used to pinch his nose when he did that ....but now i take him & lock him in his room (time out)..

i need more suggestions too

they are two...2 of them do get better with time outs but, my one is so bad nothing stops her sometimes she takes herself to time out!!!

Try putting a little bit of almond extract, we call it hot sauce, in their mouths when you put them in time out and tell them they'll get it every time they bite. It seems to be working.
With the "hot sauce" I also tried to tone down the reprimands because it seemed like I was yelling 24/7.

We tried vanilla extract first but they seemed to like it, defeated the purpose!

Good luck!

Not a popular answer, but I used to bite them back. I never did it hard enough to hurt them, just hard enough for them to understand that it hurts and it's not nice. When they got older (about4) the hitting got really bad and I started to let them hit each other back...in a controlled way, while I was standing there. It didn't take long for them to figure out if they hit, they will get hit back.
