Why Do Children Throw Temper Tantrums?
There are many reasons that young children have tantrums, according to Lesia Oesterreich, Extension Family Life Specialist with Iowa State University. Children usually have tantrums because they are tired, frustrated or don’t know how to express their feelings. They might throw a tantrum because their blocks won’t fit together correctly, they can’t get their shoe off, or you won’t let them climb on the kitchen table.
