I loved the follow along routine, did the same with mine and it does work!
I agree with all the great advice here, but one thing I did that worked great was make his realize there are consequences for his choices...it kills them when you say calmly...I'll get back to you when I decide what your consequence will be! Just sit on it for a day..it does get the best behavior out of them :)
