There are usually many factors to look at when dealing with a child. Children do things in various ways to get our attention. Was there any big change or happenings recently, this could be one of the contributing factors. Personally I believe children are harmless and thus if there is an episode of negative behaviour, the best thing I would do and recommend others would be to go back to basic. Children are very sensitive, they are able to feel our vibes. Thus we need to constantly keep ourselves in check. There are many reasons as to why the child is behaving in such a manner. Be patient, they could be going through something which we are not aware of. More often then not if the situation is handled correctly this stage will pass. Then again advise I could give would be limited as others are not present during the happenings. Back to basic, mothers know best.
Hope this helps.
