What are tantrums?

Tantrums are emotional outbursts or displays of anger, frustration, or distress, often exhibited by young children or individuals who are unable to effectively communicate their feelings or needs. Tantrums can involve crying, screaming, kicking, hitting, or other disruptive behaviors. They are a normal part of child development and are typically a response to feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or unable to cope with a situation. Tantrums can be challenging for parents and caregivers to manage, but it is important to respond calmly and provide support and guidance to help the child learn to regulate their emotions and behavior.
