my son was horrible about throwing fits! he would throw his-self on the the floor real hard but very gently lay his head down( he learned the hard way from throwing his head down real fast) and then he would look up at me to see if i was watching him... if i was then he woudl continue to scream and cry, but if i wasnt he would lay there crying for a second and he would stop crying and get up, because he wasnt getting reaction from me he wanted. I normally would just walk off not far enough that he couldnt see me but just enough to give him his space...he soon learned that throwing a fit wasnt going to get him anywhere.

he was bad about throwing toys also. I would let him have it back once but if he threw it again, it was put up for a while. I would give it back to him after a while...

talking to them and explaining to them what is acceptable and what is not is good. If you talk to them and give them choices it helps them understand things better. My kids are 10 and 8 and even now when they get into trouble, we talk about it. we talk about why they got into trouble and it helps them understand.

Being a young parent isnt easy!!! Being a parent in general isnt easy !!! Good luck!
