I would completely ignore him. IMO, he's a little too old to throw tantrums. The last one my daughter threw was when she was 3. I ignored her completely and she finally gave up and hasn't had one since.

My son had one last year when he was four in Toys-R-Us. BUT, he was with the inlaws. My MIL held him till he calmed down. Sorry, but if I was there, he would have got a spanking.

I know...that's a controversial issue but I believe in it. It worked for me growing up and it's worked for my kids.
