It is rare to find parents who have not had to manage

toddler tantrums at some point in their lives. Children are

lovable and fun but when they are in a bad mood, they can

make your life miserable to say the least. But what is

‘toddler tantrums’ and why do they happen? According to

WebMD, toddler tantrums are usually" an unplanned,
unintentional expression of anger, often with physical and
verbal outbursts. It is not an act to get attention, as is
commonly thought."

Frustration is considered to be one of the primary reasons
for toddler tantrums. Because toddlers have a limited
capability for self-expression, they communicate their anger,
hunger, thirst, discomfort and general frustration in a
myriad of ways, which include crying, whining, screaming,
throwing their arms and legs and more.

Toddler tantrums can be due to both physical (hunger,

thirst, pain, discomfort) and mental (uncomfortable
surroundings, inability to learn some skill or complete a
task, inability to make parents comply with their request).
The important thing to remember here is that iftoddler

tantrums are not corrected and rectified at the right time in

the proper manner, most children use it to gain advantage.

There may not be any textbook formula to controltodd le r

tantrums, but there are surely proven ways to control them

and manage your toddlers better.
