Do NOT hit him: See your family doctor. He/she can do an initial evaluation and refer for neuropsychiatric evaluation if indicated. Once formally diagnosed, specific therapeutic interventions can be initiated.

No: Hitting him only models physically aggressive behavior. Learn how to use immediate and consistent time-out. Again, litle people by ed christoperson or 1-2-3 magic are good " cookbooks.".
