DD2 is 15 months, has a very spirited personality and is becoming destructive, e.g. throwing items (toys, remote controls, books etc.) around the living room (even when not angry), she likes dirty things, and so eats mud whenever we're outside (which tends to spoil things for DD1 cos we abandon situation). She basically likes to throw and touch anything she shouldn't. I know she's just doing what lots of children do but I need to know how to deal with her behaviour. When she's throwing tantrums, I just walk off and ignore her but i'm not sure the way to react when she's throwing things. I want to ignore her but she needs to know she's doing wrong so I tend to say 'no' firmly. This does not deter her. Am I doing right? Will it get better?
