Tantrums usually appear at age two, reach a peak at age three, and decrease by age four.
How anger is expressed is learned by watching, listening to, or interacting with others. Helping your child to accept their angry feelings and express them in healthy ways will help your child progress through this normal developmental process and give them the tools they need to deal with their feelings. On the road to independence, the toddler is still unable to express their frustrations in words. Helping your toddler find the words to describe how they feel will give them a sense of mastery over scary situations. During this developmental phase, your child may feel some tensions now that they compare themselves to others.
