My 14mo would get a "time out" - in the pnp or in a bouncy seat or wherever that he can't touch things when he consistently touches things/misbehaves. First time it happens he gets a "no" and redirect. Second time same thing. 3rd time for same behavior gets a "time out". And I'm using that term loosely, it's only to keep him out of things so I can tend to others and not have to be on him 24/7, and to teach him that "no means no". That goes for the screaming tantrums too. There is NO screaming here, and if you do, you get time out. In fact, screaming gets you put in a pnp in another room with the door closed until you stop screaming. (And I'm not talking about screaming because they are hurt, only when they are screaming because they are mad or for attention).
