If he is too young to understand words, then wait it out a little. If he can understand "no" then you need to let him know that you are boss and what you say goes. In time he will get this.

You gonna have to ignore the fits i know it can be hard but just sit him down somewhere tell him no and if he starts having a fit just walk away. This will take time, he may have one of these fits for an hour but i promise you if you keep at it he will eventully stop.

Let him throw a fit, it wont hurt him at all. Follow through is the most important thing!

Don't forget to let him when he's doing something right. Try to use different words for different things. If he needs to stop an action, then say "Stop" or "Freeze" instead of "No". The second he follows through with the "no" and quits, then give High Praise (almost over the top if he's not throwing a fit) for not doing whatever you're saying no to even if he's crying. Think to yourself, "I don't like what you are doing, but I'll always love YOU" and you can't go wrong.

Have a time out spot. Like a chair. When he throws a fit, walk him to the chair (or carry him if he suddenly forgets how to walk lol) Be very consistent and if they get up. You must immediately go get him and put him back in the time out chair.(keep in mind. The first time you put him in time out may take time but in the end will be worth it I promise) Once he remains seated and realizes that it would be much easier for him to just take him punishment he will stop his fits. But here is the important part. You have to talk to him and explain in kid friendly terms why he is in trouble. Example: I want you to understand why you are in time out. When Mommy or Daddy tell you No. No means No. When you throw a fit because I told you no. That is Bad Behavior and I will NOT have it. You will sit here for 3 minutes and when your 3 minutes is up. You can get up. Ask him for an apology. When time is up. Ask him if he remembers why he got put in time out. Remind him if he doesn't and ask for a hug and a kiss.
