A tantrum is an emotional outburst, often characterized by crying, screaming, or physical actions like stomping or throwing objects. Tantrums are most common in young children, especially between the ages of 1 and 4, as they may struggle to express their feelings or desires verbally. These outbursts can occur when a child is frustrated, tired, or seeking attention. While tantrums are a normal part of child development, they can be challenging for parents and caregivers. Understanding the triggers, such as hunger or overstimulation, can help in managing these episodes. Consistent responses and teaching emotional regulation can also support children in learning how to cope with their feelings more effectively.
