It seems like at this age, 2 years and 7 months, toddlers are learning something new, which is getting violent. Dave is showing his very bad habit, which is to beat people when he didn't get what he wants. That's very bad and whenever he did that, we can just scold him and ask him not to do it. It's not efficient, then I started to pretend to beat him back when he started to beat people. However, I think that it's not a wise thing to do. Indirectly, we are telling him that beating people is allowed. If it's not allowed then why are we beating him....
Later on, I came with this strategy that if he beat people again, especially me and Mr, then we are going to walk away from him and ignore him for a while while letting him know that beating people is not right. Apparently, this work just fine but sometimes if he forget, he will start to beat again...
Any efficient way in letting him know that beating people is not right...??

Some of my students like to hit and even kick his friends when they are fighting over toys or when they're simply unhappy. What I do is I tell them that kicking, hitting, beating is a NO. I don't tell them why because I don't think they could understand it yet. I always have them apologize to the friend(s) they kicked or beat then usually give them a small punishment like, ask them to stand still for 1 minute (which is VERY hard for them to do).
I hope this could help :D
Yah... yah.. that's what I do also.. make him stand for a minute...
thanks for the hint...^^
