i have been noticing that a lot of the two year olds are displaying similar behaviour. throwing food (mine started recently too), deliberate acts of vandalism, being nasty to people, hitting.
obviously it is them testing the boundaries but i also think too that it is lack of communication skills - they dont know how to say what bothers them so resort to throwing etc.
When my boy throws food i tell him no we dont throw food, if you dont want it say "No thanks mummy". i am hoping he will get it one day, i also get him to pick it up.
gee isnt two a lovely age...
