Temper tantrums are unpleasant and upsetting behaviors or emotional outburst. Tantrums are most likely to occur in younger children who cannot express their needs or control their emotions when they are frustrated.
Temper tantrums range from whining and crying to screaming, kicking, hitting, and breath holding. They’re equally common in boys and girls and usually occur between the ages of 1 to 3. Kids’ temperaments vary dramatically, so some kids may experience regular tantrums, whereas others have them rarely. They’re a normal part of development and don’t have to be seen as something negative. Unlike adults, kids don’t have the same inhibitions or control.
Tantrums are common during the second year of life, a time when children are acquiring language. Toddlers generally understand more than they can express. Imagine not being able to communicate your needs to someone, a frustrating experience that may precipitate a tantrum. Popular tantrum techniques include crying, hitting, kicking, stomping, throwing things, and breath-holding. If they become regular or intense, parents need to look into what’s causing the tantrums and find ways to stop them.
