Put them
I’m a room Safe one of course. And let them scream. If you let them away with while young. Omg. You don’t know what you’ve let yourself in for in the future. Kids need to be taught right from wrong at a very very early stage. Leave them in the room as long as it takes. Checking in on them of course.

My daughter is 20 months now and sees a pt ot and speech for development checks and she’s a little behind with talking. Her last appointment the doctor suggested saying everything when she would insinuate she wants something. And it makes so much sense because she would sometimes show us she wants something and we would just give it to her not necessarily saying what it is. That has helped a ton with her speech she has started talking way more since we started doing that. And when she gets upset and cries I realize it because sometimes she just wants something she is hungry or something. So I try to talk to her and ask her what she wants and she will usually stop crying and tell me what she wants.

My son is 5 years old with autism and he does the exact same thing. The only way I can make him stop is by hugging him tight but doesn’t always work.

Terrible Two’s for ya!!! It’ll pass… just give him lots of TLC no matter what.
If you think it is due to the inability to say what he wants, try sign language. Even if you make up your own signs. YouTube has lots of videos on basic and baby signs.
Mom of a 2 1/2 year old here. We are just starting to pass this phase. My daughter would just scream so loud her body shook over pretty much everything. I ignored that behavior and eventually she learned if she told me or showed me she was upset in another way I’d listen. Hang in there it’s a tough one!

My son has autism and a sensory disorder. He done the same thing to the point of accidentally breaking my nose during one of his fits. He screams bloody murder during those times talk with your pediatrician to have him checked just in case they have therapy to help you and him handle the situations. If not hang in there
For my kids, if they were screaming just to throw a fit and were not actually hurt…I would pick them up and I would put them in their room and explain to them that this is not how we act to get what we want and nobody wants to be around screaming, when your done throwing your fit your more than welcome to come and join us and we’ll talk then. Pretty quickly this behavior stopped once they stopped getting attention for it

When mine tried this I got louder they screamed I would yell excuse me! then in a lower voice say that’s not how we communicate or something along those lines, the initial yell will either scare them or shock them to stop crying it shocks mine and they stop and then i usually have their attention and the problem is solved very quickly, they also realise how silly they look and sound when you do it back to them, obviously not a good tactic if it scares your child but works for mine

Think sauce and soap a bit harsh for 2yr old!
Try to divert attention, sit down read a book or play a game !

Ignore him … Give him his Time set him in his room very calmly and walk a way … I have 4 kids all did the scream my way game they all stop after being ignored
Take him to the pediatrician and let them know what’s going on. Could be something more than just “tantrums”
Turn that kid upside down and blister his ass!!

Do the same thing his doing when he does it and you will see his reaction its gonna take a few times but he will get the point
Ya’ll on this thread really like “he hits us, we hope he grows out of it…” 
discipline that child!
I have a 2yo who just started talking and I mean barely. They call them the terrible twos for a reason and this may sound mean but you gotta tough it out. Put him in his room if he starts and you tried to tell him to stop.
My almost two year old did the same thing. But I started to ignore her every time that happened and she eventually stopped. If you cater to him every time he screams then he knows he can just keep doing it 
Parent child interactive therapy (pcit) worked wonders for us with my 2.5 yo. Before we started therapy, it escalated to the point I couldn’t take him in public. It was hard for me to keep acting consistently with the concepts but once I did - the transformation is amazing. Best of luck, I remember how frustrating and exhausting the constant melt downs were . <3
I’d say don’t punish bit discipline and talk to him teach him how to cope and repetition. Praise good behavior all the time or as much as you remember bc I’m forgetful so I always remind myslef. Sometimes just act like he’s not screaming or just talk to him and explain things. All this has helped me alot even though I constantly have to parent my his dad’s mom and his dad not to hit not to spank not to punish him bc it makes things worse. And if his feelings are hurt definitely comfort him. Daniel tiger has good ideas too
I think the screaming is going to be a tough one to tackle. My daughter also screams when she gets upset and it’s also high pitched! My first never did this and never hit! My second is almost 3 and she does this. I have been trying to remain calm and use the phrases like " use your words" " use your calm voice " " show me how I can help you" " gentle hands" “hitting/kicking hurts” … it’s all in the consistency. There isn’t an over night fix with this stuff but I think the goal here is to make sure they grow up knowing to do better and how to handle their emotions appropriately. You want to be there for them, obviously they are feeling unheard and frustrated. Try to make them feel heard and understood. It can be hard but with constant work it will get better. If they are hitting you then grab their hands gently and say " I can’t let you hit me" or if its anyone else then immediately and gently remove them from the area and repeat that same thing " I can’t let you hit people". I think you should read the book or listen to the audible " no bad kids" by janet lansbury. She gave me a whole different perspective on parenting
if a spanking doesnt work scream as loud and high as you can at him just belt it out close to him then just watch his reaction did it to mine at that age he stopped startled look up at me and I said how does it feel he only rarely did it again its worth a try
My son had speech issues which made communicating very difficult. I was able to teach him some sign language, just simple things like more, stop, and please. It helped both of us. He also started speech therapy at 2 and half it helped, without it he wouldn’t have been ready for kindergarten.
Have him evaluated for autism and ignore everyone that says hit him or scream at him louder
