SURVIVAL GUIDE What are tantrums? Tantrums tend to start between two and three years old, although they can start earlier. During a tantrum, a Louise child will often shout, scream and cry. They may also kick, hit or bite. Tantrums are very common and almost all young children have them - some more than others. 34 somethingNew THE PARENTING MAGAZINE FOR DORSET FAMILIES
Why do they happen? Tantrums occur because young children are not able to express themselves easily. Toddlers also want independence and can become frustrated when this can't happen. Tantrums tend to decrease and/or stop after four years of age, as children are better able to understand the world around them and communicate their needs and wants.
