Pediatrician,  's  Response
greetings.
I understand this can be bothering.
these are know as temper tantrums and almost every child goes through it.
when you are not putting heed to what she's doing that's okay but make sure that she shouldn't harm herself.
asking her to say please if she wants anything and then only you will give.
set example using u and ur partner by asking with word please and then reciprocating.
hope this helps.
it's a phase and it will pass.
regards.
I find this answer helpful
