When he's going totally crazy, I'll either try and take him out of the situation (usually it's only at home, so we'll go for a ride or go run around in the back yard) or I'll put him to bed (meaning nap or bedtime a little earlier because he's obviously tired). But he's still a kicker/biter (me only) and we're trying the separation thing to try and break him of the habbit.
I will admit that he does get his hand swatted for one thing - pulling glasses off faces. He just thinks that's the most hilarious thing and we don't have the money to be replacing glasses all the time. I'm not a big spanker at all, but that's one thing I will hold my ground on.

But he's had a coupl;e hand smacks for throwing stuff off the table (and I mean throwing! nearly broke a cabinet, little demon) and touching the heater.
When he starts throwing a paddy, I just say strenly, Oliver, Stop it Now and he does. *shrug* I guess we're lucky
he's learning how to scream when he's frustrated, but we ignore that totally.
