Children's Behaviour.

A child's behaviour and actions are an expression of what s/he is feeling. Children feel emotions immediately and often very visibly. When a child is not particualrly verbal or is non-verbal, treat their behaviour as communication. If a child can't say what is going on for them, then they will express this physically. Even when a child can verbalise ideas and requests usually, often it comes out easier in actions.
If s/he is feeling happy, then s/he may be smiling and bouncing around making happy noises.
If s/he is hitting, s/he may be saying "Go away"......or "Leave me alone"....................or "Stop trying to get me to do something that I don't want to do"...........................or   "I'm just so frustrated"....................................or  "Get out of my space"..........
If s/he is biting...................... What might s/he be communicating?
If s/he is throwing himself/herself on the floor, what might s/he be communicating?
Ask the questions. And don't panic. Children do do things that we don't want them to. Some people feel embarrassed by their children's behaviour. Remember your child really wants to communicate - to you, to others, to the world. And they deserve to be heard. So ask the questions and provide the words for what they are communicating in actions.
