Throwing

 Have you tried taking away toys or privileges? Usually that works well for my DD when she has tantrums or throws stuff.

Hate to tell you this is the age, though I would start just putting things away, when she throws them.  Tell her if she throws the item, she can't have it anymore and put it in a closet for awhile, she may throw a fit, but be strong.  You'll at least have a clean room house for now.  When you finally give it back, say after a week, tell her if she throws it , it goes back in the closet.

By the way, about the remotes and telephone, don't leave them where she can get a hold of them.  See more in another reply.

Mu daughter Lorelei is almost 2. She has gotten really bad about throwing stuff. She thinks its so funny. We tell her it isn't nice, we've said stuff like "that hurts" cause it has hit us, we have put her in time out, and we have even gone as far as spanking her. She just doesn't get that she has to stop. Within a five minute period yesterday she hit me in the eye with my phone and in the mouth with the remote.

So does anyone have any fresh ideas on how I can get this to stop?

Get her some nerf balls or soft balls, and some kind of basket or bucket to aim for.  Teach her that's what she uses for throwing, and nothing else.  Keep being consistent.  She will learn.

Yup, I agree with this!

I've gotten almost everything put away. Those two things only happened when she was laying in bed watching Elmo with me.

I like the idea of teaching her to throw balls into a basket, but I'm also scared it will make her think throwing in general is ok.

As Ward Cleaver said to June in leave it to beaver; Its a phase June.  Some kids are worse than others about throwing things. We had some friends that brought their soon to be 2 year old on our 27 ft. sailboat, that kid was throwing anything he could get his hands on.  He even almost threw our motor keys in the lake, before we got them away from him.  You have to be vigilant, even if you are relaxing.  I figured you were watching t.v. with her, but with the "lil darlins" you have to keep the remote in your pocket or under you leg. Ask me how I know this?  LOL
