Toddler hitting and pushing other children at nursery

My son is pushing and hitting other kids at nursery if someone takes his toys. He was never good at sharing but usually before his reaction was to start crying if someone takes his toy, which has now turned into pushing and sometimes hitting. If I am with him, I stay close to him to prevent it, teaching him how to share or remove him from the situation and try to explain nicely why we dont hit/push others. I feel like nothing is working, he is repeating after me all the things I say but then when the situatiin comes he still does it anyways. Anyone with the same experience? I don't want him to become a bully

He won’t become a bully, you are doing everything you can, you are correcting his behaviour he is still very young and will take time to catch up what u really mean. Keep preserving correcting the behaviour and reward good sharing. U are doing great x

My little one went through a hitting phase I saw a video which said instead of babbling on to them about how they shouldn’t do it your suppose to take their hands when they hit put them to ur face and say nice hands basically the video said it shows them in a way they understand to be nice with their hands not nasty, it sound stupid but it has worked with my little one he doesn’t hit now xx

We are going through a biting phase at nursery and it’s been so hard. I think they are just 2 year olds testing boundaries with limited control of emotions now, but it’s so hard
