Hi ,
There are concrete steps you can take to prevent, control. -redirecting him to do a more appropriate behavior can help him forget about the urge to hit or scream .
You can observe your son’s behaviors that typically happen in the moments leading up to hitting or screaming and prevent it.
A firm hug to restrain your son speaking calmly, letting him know that you’re holding him to stop him from hitting or screaming.
Once the moment has passed you can redirect them to other behaviors.
Make sure that hitting is not getting more attention than not hitting.
You could try time-out to reach him how to calm down.
Consult a paediatrician / psychologist , you will get help to manage by acquiring effective strategies for Emotion regulation, which will allow your son to learn to identify anger triggers and preventive strategies.
Next Steps
Consult a Paediatrician , Psychologist.

Hi... Imagine yourself being frustrated and not having language or any other ways of expressing or regulating these strong emotions. Imagine how would you respond to it beyond a point. Your kid is experiencing a similar situation and you need to first figure out the cause and then address it. You may first be mindful of his basic needs like, hunger, fatigue, loneliness, etc. Try calming him down by giving him a warm hug and acknowledging his strong emotions. You don't need to give in to his demands or to challenge them either. You just need to communicate your warmth and support and help him regulate his strong emotions in a better way. Your patience, warmth, communication, and support is the key to helping him as a parent. If still his issues persist, please consult a Pediatrician or a Psychologist to address his issues in a more systematic way.
Next Steps
Consult a Pediatrician or a Psychologist.
Parent Counselling is required.
