Tantrums in Toddlers 

Behavior problems are something all parents have to deal with. Many children exhibit aggressive or violent behavior and temper tantrums. Tantrums, biting, kicking, screaming, and hair-pulling, are all behaviors that are increasingly common in children.

Contrary to what most parents think, the issue really isn't about the candy or toy that your child is throwing a tantrum about.

There are so many causes for tantrums and similar aggressive behavior and so many different tactics parents use to stop these behavior problems.

Children are not naturally poorly behaved. If a child is acting out, having a tantrum and having aggressive behavior problems, there are many underlying reasons for this. Behavior problems in children often stem from stress and unhappiness.

Children throw tantrums usually because they want their parents' attention and affection, and also because there is a physiological need for the body to work through the stress and adrenaline build-up that comes from stress.  Tantrums can often have a healing effect on excessive stress.

This misbehavior is usually a sign that there are other various stresses in their lives.   It's recommended to keep focussing on the underlying reasons for the tantrum or other misbehavior and not to get involved in arguing with the child about  why they are upset (candy, toy, etc).
