Consistent hold: It is good that you care about his self-image. All household members need to agree on the approach or he'll play on it or be confused. Brief clear stmt of plan to him "We will stop you from doing this" and a restraining hug-hold (practice first) till calm in small empty corner. Serious but calm - no giggles or anger. A Child Psychologist can teach your family better than a few words can. Seek one!
