Watch the Nanny show and see how a time out is done properly. If you follow her rules every single time, you will end the problem. Congratulations on being a good parent and not letting this continue!! Many would just ignore it and end up with an uncontrollable brat!!!

Their was a girl next door that was deaf and she would throw tantrums like that. Her grandmother would come to me for help. I would hold her arms down criss cross at the fore arms or wrist and hug her this way until she calmed down. I think kids get frustrated from not knowing how to communicate effectively. They do pick up bad habits from other kids. Try to talk to him, read a story to him. Do some activity with him in the form of a sport or craft project. This teaches him other ways to communicate.
For just yelling and screaming fits with my daughter when she was young. I sent her to her room and would just ignore her and go about my chores. Positive behavior gets positive attention. negative behavior like yelling and screaming gets no attention

I didnt read anny of the other posts, but just thought I'd tell you my own experiance. My son doesnt' see any of that as well- but the doctor's will tell you ALL kids develop it on their own- It was worse for us, he would bang his head on the floor. Everytime I did it I would pick up a toy and throw it in a black garbage bag (I would bring the toy back when he wasn't paying attention) and he would stop immediately throwing the fit, cause I would keep picking toys up and throwing them "away" until he stopped in the begining. Now, he's 3 and when he tries' it I tell him he knows better and he goes, no I not going to cry I big boy. So that is my experiance and that worked for me, I don't know if it will be for you, but just some advice!!!! :)

Hit him back. Well, don't punch him or anything, obviously. Just spank him. He thinks hitting is his special weapon or something? Beat him at his own game (no pun intended). I don't understand this fear of spanking. If you do it responsibly and always remember to talk to him afterward to remind him that you are not enemies, then he's not going to turn into some sort of violent weirdo. Tell him, "I'm a parent and you are a kid. That means I help you learn because I love you, and you be a good boy and do what I say. Those are our jobs." He's got to know that parents are children are two very different kinds of people.

what is wrong with all you people trying to reason and compromise with a small child. parenting is not a democracy. when a child acts up and is doing it at home people automatically blame someone or something else when the fact is the child has absolutely no discipline or respect for the parent. pop his butt and stay consistent. if you do not allow certain behavior or actions then do not allow it all the time. why on earth has society gotten to the point where children are ruling everything. it is not doing them any favors!!!!

Normal behavior he picked up from other kids.
Take away his toys and put him in time-out. Follow through when you say you are going to do something, and let him work his way out of his own fit.
And don't listen to the idiots above that are advocating hitting your child. I'm not an anti-spanker, but when it comes to this problem, hitting your child to teach them not to hit doesn't make any sense and will only exacerbate his problem.

He probably just needs a time out. Sometimes they get frustrated when they can't communicate what they want. They involuntarily start flailing their arms at anything and everything. The more you try to reason with them the more they get frustrated. Just try a time out in the crib or a quiet room.
Good Luck...

Maybe you should give him a time out and dont cut him any slack, be tough even if he apologizes, he needs to know that what he is doing is wrong.
