I recommend a mild form of restraint for the jumping and hitting. Pick her/him up and walk over to the stairs, sit down, put the child on your lap and cross your arms over their chest wrapping your arms completely around your child. Gently rock until your little ones calms down. If they get fidgety or angry, gently tell them "you need to calm down now". Do not let them up until they calm down. The most important thing is that you consistantly do it EVERY time or it won't work. Also, if there is anyone who likes to rough house with your child, let them know that you need them to refrain from it for now until your child can learn to chill out a little bit.

Be consist ant and remember toddlers have a very short attention span. They have to be reminded constantly that hitting isn't okay etc. Remember to be patient and know that all toddlers go through phases.

Redirecting- distract a child away from what they shouldn't be doing to something more productive
Isolation- eqivilant of timeout. I use this with my toddler son.
Loss of privileges.
Speech calmly and firmly. Get down to their level. Be clear about what you expect and be consistant. All the best.

Spanking is a corrective measure that I've found very helpful. Also confining to a restricted area, i.e high chair or playpen, immediately following the offensive action. And definitely talk to him to tell him that what he did is wrong and it won't be tolerated. Immediate corrective action following his offense(s) will hammer the message home.

you should put a child sized chair against a wall where they can't see the t.v. or any of there toys and make it a time out place. every time they do something wrong after you have told them "no" make them sit in the chair. eventually they will realize that when they do something wrong they will sit in the time out chair and they will stop.
hope this helps you. good luck.

I would spank him, but not enough to hurt him, just enough to let him know he's been naughty. But since his diaper will cushion his tushy, spank him on the thigh instead. However, know that spanking can make a kid think it's ok to hit, so only spank when he has done something that he KNOWS is very wrong. Otherwise, I would tell him 'no' harshly.

at eye level tell them firmly "no, that hurts" then after a few times of this start sitting him in "time out" for a minute then tell him again "hitting is not nice" he'll get it

pop the child on the hand and tell them no don't do that. Believe it or not, they understand very well. Don't give them the favorite snack also
