help with another behavioral issue

So at 12 months old dd started doing naughty things intentionally to get my attention. at 1 it was cute...at three its less cute. At two when she gained the ability to take off her pants and diaper she started peeing on the floor..that was a fun phase. just now she intentionally broke a plate because I'm sick and lying down. she gets plenty of attention all day long between teachers, myself and her sibling who treats her like an indulgant adult would. ignoring the behavior plus ample attention isn't helping...anything else i can do besides waiting it out?

    I started asking DD "do you want my attention or do you want up" when she recently at 2.5 y/o started requesting "I want up" again. She is starting to get it however also uses her sensory input needs to manipulate to get attention. She has started to respond "want attention" to this prompt.

    Even if she is smart enough to learn to respond with "attention," maybe you can then Segway your DD by telling her she recently got x,y,z attention and you can get more at whatever time if she starts using that as a tatic too??

    She's usually pretty good with bringing me a toy to play with to get my attention if were sharing a room. it tends to only be when were in separate rooms and I'm occupied showering/cooking/cleaning. Seldomly shell come up and say my turn when I'm busy but its mostly its acting out. she also lacks the ability to wait for more than ten seconds.
