I completely agree with you that many toddlers may not have the language skills and vocabulary to express their feelings and wants in positive ways. My son had delayed speech and language development and he demonstrated bullying behaviours that were often fuelled by his frustration.

I would like to add one other suggestion. It seems to me that frequently problems arise when children are stretched beyond what is reasonable. A well-rested and nourished youngster is much better able to cope with peers than a child who stayed up late or missed a nap. We should not be surprised when a tired, hungry toddler or preschooler has difficulty managing at school or in a playgroup. I completely agree that issues that can seem overwhelming (at any stage) have a way of resolving (just about the time a different issue appears). Parenting is rarely without some sort of drama!
