From a social learning perspective, ignoring the negative behavior and praising positive behaviors is the best way to teach a child. Punishments like taking away toys or spanking only create fear and resentment, and yelling can model aggressive behavior. By ignoring the negative behavior and acknowledging and praising positive behaviors, the child will learn that throwing things is not an effective way to communicate and that nonaggressive behaviors are rewarded.
