No tips but lots of sympathy! We are going through the same thing here. She just has a short fuse and blows over the tiniest thing. I think part of it is that she has a clear idea of what she wants to do or say and can't seem to execute it properly and then gets pissed off. I try really hard not to match her tone and to calmly ask what she's trying to say or do but sometimes I can't help myself and I match her frustration. That only seems to make it worse though. I think this is one of those phases...a right of passage of sorts for all parents to go through. It sounds like you're doing the right thing in not rewarding his behavior with a reaction and sometimes it's best to just step away for a moment.
