I agree with hmsram about taking things away. My 4-year old son loves to play on the computer so that is the worst punishment. If he is having a tantrum (like not wanting to go down for a nap or something). I simply start counting to three and tell him if he doesn't stop by three he doesn't get the computer for the rest of today and tomorrow. That usually stops him before I get to three. Of course that took following thru on that threat numerous times before he got the idea. Now he knows.

But don't worry, it will get better!!
