OP, take away something huge to him. Immediately, no warning needed for such an egregious offense.  My son spit at me when he was six. I donated his beloved Leapster to charity the next day.  If it hadn't been a school day, I would have made him come with me.

After the tantrum from hell settled down, I told him why spitting was bad, how it was disrespectful, and how he knew full well he wasn't allowed to hit or otherwise disrespect his parents. I reminded him that he can always be mad or be sad, but that he has to be polite when displaying these emotions. If that's not possible, he needs to go to his room until he calms down.

He's never spit or hit since.

We take away privileges for this kind of behavior - no iPad for a week, bedtime snack, etc.  PEP would also tell you that you need to help your child manage their anger - teach them ways to channel their anger that doesn't include hurting people or destruction of property. I have a DS who lashes out when he is upset or angry and does hit me sometimes. I have to be very strict with him about this behavior and have been working with him to find ways that work for him to manage his anger. [/quote]
