Almost 4yr old hitting mom and dad

Question

My son is turning 4 in a couple of weeks and has recently started hitting his dad and I. We have been working on a 6-block chart for about 2 1/2 weeks mainly targeting disobeying and talking back. All blocks are crossed off when he hits. He's not in preschool, and so can potentially spend quite a lot of time in his room, and often does.

He doesn't like to spend time in his room, but his behavior doesn't seem to be changing for the better yet, in fact, the hitting has become more frequent, and happening earlier in the day, leading to longer times in his room. It's pretty discouraging that he doesn't seem to want to avoid these consequences.

Also, we're getting ready to spend a week with the grandparents, how should we address these things while on the road?

Thank you
