Which behavior demonstrates an individual seeking attention in a non-verbal way?

The behavior of throwing objects across the room can be seen as a non-verbal way of seeking attention due to its disruptive nature. This action tends to attract the immediate focus of caregivers, peers, or teachers, as it demands a reaction. Throwing objects often elicits concern or curiosity, leading others to pay attention to the individual exhibiting this behavior.

In the context of attention-seeking behaviors, this action can indicate a desire for engagement, whether it is through the response elicited from others or through the excitement generated by the act itself. Other choices, such as raising hands in class or observing quietly, tend to follow protocols of communication that don't inherently disrupt and are often considered appropriate social behaviors. Making loud noises, while attention-seeking, can sometimes overlap with other motivations unrelated to attention, such as excitement or frustration.
