You've got to catch him in the act so he knows exactly what he's doing wrong.
As soon as he chunks or whacks something, immediately tell him "No!" in a firm voice and make sure he sees displeasure on your face.Not anger-- just a little frown or raised eybrows will do.
When he does it again give him another firm "No! Do not throw/ hit things!" Then walk him to a chair and make him sit alone for a few minutes. Just sit him down and tell him to stay there and walk away. Stay in his sight but don't look at or touch him unless he tries to get up. If he does, firmly place him back in that spot and tell him to stay there.This may have to be done several times until he understands that he will NOT win this battle. You MUST be persistant .If he knows he can wear you down then it'll be even harder on you.Never give in.
After a few minutes-- let him up and tell him again, "Do not throw/hit things".
If he does it a third time.....a pop on the behind or hand would be appropriate. Then repeat firmly..."Do NOT hit/throw things!" Make sure that you have your emotions in check. Don't pop him if you are steaming with anger. And make sure you aren't yelling .Just speak firmly and clearly.He'll get the point.Just watch his little eyes and face.You'll see understanding in them.....and maybe even stubbornness. Don't underestimate the little guy.
This is the method I used on my 16 month old nephew who had a throwing/hitting problem.

Tell your 18 month old that is a no no. A gentle tap on the hand
and removing all objects thrown will get your point across.
If that doesn't work than try a pop on the behind and again
tell darling 'no no'. Just keep saying no no and then show your
sweetheart what is a yes yes. Replace negative with a positive.
Your are that child's first teacher. Teacher him/her well.

Discipline your toddler by letting him/her know that it isn't good. And by discipline, a firm spanking would be in order. You can talk to an 18-month old, but will the child understand you word for word? I don't think so. And use spanking when things get out of hand, but don't take out your anger or frustration through spanking. Use spanking to discipline your child when (s)he has taken it too far; yes, it will hurt, but done concientiously, then it will go a long way into helping your child become a better person.

Spank Them Little Hands And Tell Him No...Has Worked With Countless Children......There Is Things Little Guys And Girls (Big Ones Too) Aren't Allowed To Do,And If Mom And Dad Don't Teach Them,Who Will?.I Am Not Saying To hurt The Child But If Necessary Turning His Little Hand Red Is Not Abuse To Me !

He may not get time out or spanking yet, take him outside and show him what he can throw, give him a spoon and pan and tell him what he can hit. Try positives before negatives like spanking and time out, sometimes a child just needs to know what they CAN do, and may also be bored.

if your child is hitting people, spanking is probably not a good idea. tell him, "no, we don't hit", firmly and clearly, using the same tone and phrase every time. seperating him from his victims when the incidents occur is also a good way to get the point across that his behavior will not be tolerated.

ok my little bro does that so this is wat my mom does right she tells him scary stuff like the cops will take him away or he will go to bording school or something that scares him like a ghost or something and sometimes my bro does not get scared so she tries to put him in a dark room all alone and if it is in the morning then she thrents to lock him in the bathroom and some times does it for like a few minutes now if he still bothers you then will even though this does not happen much with my bro but if it happens with you then give him a little phiscall beating i mean like a small wack that usally scares my bro or i do not know something to scar him also there is another way to work this out you can try to bribe the kid like if you do this then you get that its actully up to you really

After he throws or hits, grab his wrist and tell him, "NO!" If you say everything in a sing-song voice, he won't know it's wrong--at this age, when they don't know a ton of words, he'll understand 'No' and your tone.

let her or him throw. be gentle. the point isnt to get her to obey immediatly but to let her know what is right and wrong. soon she'll get it. just tell her"no we dont throw that" and she'll throw it right at ya soon after!! lol but smile and say it again. and the thing that she is throwing, take it and put it in time out. and say that. this is going bye bye, or time out. and she'll cry her heart out, and just keep saying in a sing song voice, well we dont throw balls (or whatever it was). and be consistent. dont give in by giving her the object just cause her crying is loud. if you let her know her crying "works" and can get you to get angry or comply to her wishes, then you might aswell lay on the floor and get use to a life of her walking all over you!hope that works,

A good spank in the right moment and alone, just you and him (her). That MAY help.
