Firm but gentle loving restraint.
A firm voice telling them "NO."
Reminding them how to make a better choice.

My son at the age of 2 started showing signs of aggression. He was diagnosed with ALL : Acute Lymphnoblastic Leukemia, at 4. Now a cancer survivor, my son is 11, has issues with anger and aggression. Our Biggest challenge, has defiantly been communication. It's easier now that he is able to fully express how he feels, but, that's only if he feels like it. When he was 2, it was way easier and I listened to a lot of suggestions. At times, I had a hard time deciphering beetween "normal behaviors" I am always looking for answers myself, So far the 3 things that have helped the most:
knowledge, (brings)
patience and (helps us be)
understanding.

In the beginning we were sure that the answer was a spank on the butt. However, over the past 2-3 months, our son has become considerably more aggressive. Now we are trying the firm "no" followed by a time out space. Spanking just didn't work for him. His brother did great with it.

I think that telling them no (even screaming it sometimes) is better than spanking. All I have ever seen from spanking is kids being afraid of their parents or becoming more aggressive. My brother was a perfect example of becoming worse due to spanking. It just made him feel more angry and more rejected and he acted out constantly (he wanted the attention even if it was negative) Reinforce good behavior....it works.

It really depends. I try to encourage my child to use his words. Like if he starts grabbing toys I tell him to say "I would like to play with that toy" or if he shoves a child defensively I tell him to say "Don't hit me, I don't like that" If he can't stop using his hands aggressively I explain that it is unacceptable and we will have to leave since he is having a hard time controlling himself. Aggression is totally normal at this age. Self discipline is a learned skill and it takes time. We just have to give our kids tools to more effectively deal with the situations they are faced with.

I usually sit my kid down and talk to them (that is actually worse to them then getting spanked).

Spank them on their behind and talk to them after wards.If you don't do nothing and continue to let this go on then they will be outrageous.
Watch Dr.Phil show-he said in one of his shows:if you don't do something now about your child's behavior then it will be to late.He was saying when your child get older he will be so out of control you will ask your self"where did I go wrong!"
