One thing I learned from taking care of my friends normal children is that sometimes children just like adults do feel crabby for no reason meaning the problem may not be related to wha is going on right then, and just need to let it out. I know some days even with having enough sleep and everything going great I feel like just stomping and so on. and in children this happens alot at two and three when their taste buds are changing their body chemicals and levels are changing and so on. they don't call it the terrible two's for nothing.
So when my friends children were gonig through a crabby just need to scream stomp and so on I told them I know that sometimes everyone feels like just going off but that kind of stuff needs to stay in the bedroom where it doesn't bother someone watching tv and so on. I even had in the bedrooms a "mad and anything box" newspapers and picture magazines so thaat the child could rip up things and pick a picture that told me how they were feeling. and had a box of ball like stuffed animals and "beanies" that the child could dump out and then play basketball with them and the box. Made my house much more calmer.
