He needs more discipline and fewer "bosses"
If he is the youngest, he has EVERYONE else telling him what to do.
He needs his role in the family more defined
More structure and less "reasoning"
After all remember.....he's only 3

He may be going through a growth spurt right now, that makes kids uncomfortable in their bodies and they act out. I am a big fan of bribery, or positive reinforcement. Start by counting every time he spits or hits or gets angry. An easy way to keep track is to take a stack of pennies, and move them from one pocket to another every time he misbehaves. Then tell him what the pennies represent. Then explain that he needs some pennies to buy a treat, You know what he likes, make sure you have it on hand. decide how many pennies he needs, and put the pennies in 2 dishes, Every time he misbehaves, move a penny. at the end of an hour talk about how many pennies he still has.
Since he is young, you can only do this for an hour or so at a time, but it is a good way to teach him to regulate his behavior.
I used to give my niece a piece of gum for every hour she did not have a tantrum, after 3 days she was down to one tantrum a day.

Its simple, he's spoiled. I have a spoiled one myself. They think they should always have their way. You can turn this around by not giving in all the time, especially when he is being unreasonable. Be consistent no matter have he yells and kicks and falls out. When my daughter start having one of her fits and falls out, I pick her up and restrain her. Then I tell her that I will let her go when she stops kicking and screaming. Eventually, she calms down and then she's tired and goes to sleep. She usually have these fits when she get sleepy but don't want to go. You have to let him know that it is not okay to have a fit when he doesn't get his way. Good Luck.

he seems very frustrated probably from being the youngest he needs discipline etc time outs and taken away privileges along with positive reinforcement for good behavior etc praise or treats and probably with 5 other siblings he feels this is the only way he gets your exclusive attention by acting out so one on one special time will help with his behavior as well

he needs set rules and follow through when you punish him. ie if you do that again i will put you on the naughty stool, if he repeats, put him on the naughty stool. also reward for good behaviour - sticker charts are great, ten stickers means favourite sweet for dinner, 50 stickers means new toy etc
make sure all your kids get special time with just you, even for 20 mins, put the timer on and all other kids know not to interupt during that time. that way they dont have to misbehave to get your undivided attention

Maybe you need to start hitting him.
You may be favouring him seeing as he is the baby. My mom totally did this with my baby brother. He got away with things that the rest of us would never dream of doing.
