The key is not backing down. When you tell her to do something you mean it. She can throw a fit if she'd like, but there will be consequences (ex. you can send her to her room or tell her she can't have dessert that night) but you have to follow through. If you don't, it doesn't matter how old she is, kids are smart and once they realize they can just refuse, they'll keep doing it. If she throws something at you, immediately send her to her room. If she cries, put her on the couch until she's calmed down and handle it again from there. Explain to her that throwing things is bad and the next time she does it, she'll be punished, but that punishment absolutely has to come the next time she does it. If she doesn't go to sleep when she's supposed to, turn the lights off (unplug the lamp if she them back on) and tell her that's the end and she's going to bed, no tv, no toys, and that if it's going to take her so long to get to bed, bedtime will start earlier the next night.
Hobo Joe: Actually it's ';phase';.





And I agree with the others, it would be helpful to know how old she is.

Just be patient. Use positive reinforcement. Encourage her to ';use her words';. It's frustrating to be a toddler--think if you were repeatedly trying to tell your SO something but since he couldn't understand you, he just yelled at you or ';punished'; you for ';misbehaving';. Offer cuddles instead of yelling.
@HoboJoe: no, it's PHASE!





If she's two, it'll pass. But a good way to end it would be to get down on her level, hold her hands, and explain why throwing things at you hurts you.


The crying should be ignored, as it's simply to get attention from you or others.


Sleep. One time you should be like, ';no, sweetie, its' bedtime.'; and take her and put her back in bed. the next time and next, etc, you should just put her in bed, saying nothing. She'll learn. She's new to our world :)
How old?


Terrible two's. It passes.
Is she six, or sixteen? It would help to know.
it's faze not face
