Do young children have tantrums on purpose?
It might seem as though your child plans to misbehave simply to get on your nerves, but that’s probably giving your child too much credit. Young children don’t have evil plans to frustrate or embarrass their parents. A young child’s world is right there in sight, at the end of his or her nose. Your child doesn’t enjoy throwing a tantrum any more than you enjoy dealing with a tantrum.
