*LMAO* Sounds like my son! When he was 2 he would swear and he so happened to make up his own song using the f word as well. Thankfully he only did it at home. In public he acted like an angel. It passes, you just have to show her that you are not going to tolerate such behavoir.
You do have to watch what people say around your child because they do absorb it so quickly.

time out is the key! When she does it, tell her to stop or she'll get a time out. If she does it again, in a firm but calm voice, tell her that's she being naughty for doing ______ and take her somewhere (not into a room with a closed door, somewhere near you where you can sneakily keep an eye on her) like a little mat or something. Sit her down there for 2 minutes. Every time she gets up and leaves it, simply sit her back down there without saying a word to her. Keep doing that until she makes up the full 2 minutes. Then go to her after she's done her time, and ask her if she knows why she was sent here, wait for her to tell you (give some prompting if she needs it), then ask for an apology, and give her a hug and kiss. Part 2 of the plan deals with why she does it. She's probably after attention. Whether you have other kids that need attention too, or what ever it is, that may be the problem, and by being a little monster, she's realized that you notice her (I know it sounds horrible, but it's the way kids think). So they way to help stop it permanently is to introduce a rewards system. If she has been good all day, take her to a park or outside somewhere where you can play together. She'll love it. As for her song, if a 2 year old makes up a song, she's super smart! Use that talent by making u songs together. She'll improve really quickly. Good luck!

as for the throwing, you can teach her that its ok to throw some toys, and its not ok to throw others. take a ball outside and let her throw it and encourage that behavior. if she starts throwing things inside, give her a warning, then take the toy away for a certain amount of time. she'll get the picture.
for the bad words, she doenst understand what they mean. she enjoys the reaction she gets out of you. just stay calm and get down to her level and tell her that it is not ok to use that kind of language, and that those are bad words that hurt peoples feelings.
in both cases she wants to get you angry becuase she wants the attention. stay calm and dont forget to tell her why these things are bad.

Children learn everything since they are born, anything being said or done in the family affects them too. just because she is small does not mean she does not understand what she is saying! she knows every word she is saying. try to find a way on how to make her stop, sometimes, as much as it hurts, letting her get a good mouth wash isn't a bad idea

First it is not your fault that your child acts this way. I have a similar problem and I have tried many disciplinary techniques. What I have found works is to take away my son's Hot Wheels when he misbehaves. He can then later earn them back. When you give them back use positive reinforcement. YOU HAVE BEEN VERY GOOD TODAY. My son also used to throw his cup at me when he wanted a drink. I would let it fall to the floor and not acknowledge the cup until he handed it to me nicely GOOD LUCK and remember that they are not 2 forever

She is learning this behavior from somewhere. And she continues to act like that because she is being rewarded for her behavior instead of punished. When she throws a fit long enough....do you give in? When she is cussing and singing vulgar songs....does she get your attention?? She didn't come up with this stuff by herself. You need to be consistent in your disclipling!

You are at the terrible twos phase. They are trying to see where their boundaries are. The bad language was never a problem for me, I didn 't say any bad words around them nor let anybody else say them. They will repeat any thing that they hear so just watch what they hear.

She doesnt really get what shes saying. But I know that you aready knew that one...
Try taking her aside and very calmly tell her,"thats not what we say" . Yelling will only confuse her.
Teach her a different song, sing it with her.
good luck.
The throwing thing will stop with the same kind of calm discussion.

i have a 3 year old, who is my 3rd child.. none of my kids every acted like that.. maybe you should spend more time teaching your child between right and wrong or maybe you act the same way... 2 year olds learn from their enviroment.
