    Kids at this age need constant positive attention. It took 3 of 4 kids to figure that the more positive time they have with family, the better the behavior becomes. We never had trouble with the last one. Talking, playing, eating, socializing with family, and a strict schedule that she stuck to. Made things so much nicer.

      Welcome to the terrible two's... It's a phase.. If she doesn't come out of the phase by the time shes 3 then I'd take her to the doctor to make sure there's nothing wrong.. But I'm sure it's a terrible two's thing...  My son is 16 months old and he's started this hitting, pulling hair, pinching and throwing his toys at us phase... He also cries when I try to walk away and he too follows me to the bathroom...

        you must tell her "NO!" and firmly everytime she does something that hurts you physically etc, and be consistent with it so she gets the message.  she is approaching the terrible twos so that could be it, but if it continues or gets worse talk to her pediatrician to make sure all is ok.  God bless and hang in there

        Terrible twos and sometimes horrible threes but when you say NO and she throws a fit do not give in because if you do she will start thinking that if I throw a fit I can get what I want

        Well my moms way of getting us through the terrible two's was when saying no didn't work and we pulled her hair she pulled ours we learned that it hurts and quit. Get her a potty chair and have her sit on it every time you go to the bathroom, it will keep her from screaming at the door. She has to realize that you being in another room for five seconds isn't bad so try playing hide and seek she learns that you may just be around the corner and that you will always come back. When she won't tell you what she wants be patient and hold her hand and take her to the frig and point to things and tell her what they are. She not only learns proper words but relates it to an object. The tantrums can be stopped by a simple time out to let her get out the frustration, and hitting and throwing in this time out is a big no no and only makes the time out longer.
