help any ideas?

my son is 18 months old and he is soooo mean he bites and slaps people then he'll run away laughing he loves it when he hurts people. people told me to bite him back but i can't do that. like when his cousin was crying he grabed a stick and started beating him with it. i got to get him under control but dont know how. is he to young to have ADHD or something? i need some ideas please help.

Answers:
Yeah, it's a tough problem. Don't bite him back. The best thing to do is reward good behavior. Something as little as listening or sitting quietly, playing good with other. Everything you "catch him being good, remind him that you like the way he is acting. When he does act up try to find a different activity to do, to divert his attention to something else. Good Luck!
