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.

+1.   Alarmed by both the spankers and the softies on here!! If a child hit me at the age of 7, they'd lose something huge and never get it back. [/quote]

+2  I'm not against spanking, but in the situation described when the kid is already upset and you the parent are upset nothing will get resolved and the spanking will only escalate the situation.

I also can't believe the let him pick a punishment and  give it back in a couple of days crowd.  A 7 year old knows darn well hitting isn't okay, If he hasn't learned it at home he's learned it at school.

It also isn't likely they need therapy.

Pack up some toys and off to donation they go. Have your chat and maybe another consequence such as early bed.[/quote]
