He's called a strong-willed child. It's important to establish a relationship in which he knows that you're the boss. He may react by pouting when he doesn't get his way. Let him pout. Don't resort to yelling and screaming, and, of course, no physical violence. A soft but firm "no".......then follow through with it.

He is too young for spanking, all that will teach him is to be affraid of you. You should try re directing him. For example, when he does something he is not allowed to do, interest him in something else. A child that age has a hard time taking his focus off what it is he wants to do. When he is a little older you may want to put him in his crib for a time out ( 1 min for every year of age). After all that, a light smack on his bottom in needed. But not yet.

Everything is in repeat. If he does something you don't like tell him no. If he does it again tell him no and time out. If he does it again tell him no and time out. You just have to stick to your guns and choose your battles. Some times it is a good day and sometimes a bad day. It is just all repeat. When we have bad days I try to get them to do something together like finger painting or some other task. That way we get to spend time together and try and do something good instead of bad. I also praise for good behavior other wise i am constantly saying no.

Try looking into discipline using Love and Logic. We use it at my school (I'm a teacher) and it is for parenting also. It'a a wonderful tool. It's all based on logical consequences and using empathy. Look it up on the web..it's good stuff.

"adamant" at 15 months old? He's 15 months old and you want to know how to discipline him? Really?

Depends on what he's adamant about. If he wants to choose that games he plays, what clothes to wear, who to hug or not hug, etc, let him. If he wants to break things or hurt people, obviously you must step in.
Pick your battles.

Ignore the unwanted behavior. Do not give it any attention at all. However, on the other side of the coin, do indeed give attention to him at all other times. Reward him for doing wanted things, engage him in play, acknowledge his experoation, geive attention to him when he is doing things he should be doing.
But ignore the negative stuff.

say what you mean and mean what you say to your son. if you promise to punish him for bad behavior do so, the same applies if he is good and you promise him a treat keep to it . then he will know he has to be good for you.,

sounds like he needs to make choices on his own. give him 2 choices in which to choose from. one obviously being very very bad...like a yucky mustard only sandwich and the other being....this yummy turkey sandwich with lettuce, tomato and cheese. my kids do so much better when they THINK they have control over their choices. fighting with them is greatly reduced. stick to your guns on the choices. sometimes they make bad choices like in the mustard only sandwich but usually they make the choice i want them to. good luck

Try the loud "No", or smack his fingers when he is doing something that will hurt him, trying to touch the stove, etc.. If he is throwing a fit ignore him until he calms down.
