Correct Temper tantrums are a common response to anger and frustration in
toddlers. They occur more often when toddlers are tired, hungry, bored, or
excessively stimulated. A nap before fatigue or a snack if mealtime is
delayed will be helpful in alleviating the times when tantrums are most
likely to occur. Tantrums may include screaming, kicking, throwing
things, biting themselves, or banging their head. Effective management of
tantrums includes safely isolating and ignoring the child.
Incorrect The child should learn that nothing is gained by having a temper tantrum.
Giving in to the child's demands only increases the behavior.
