Almost all children have temper tantrums in their toddler years. This is one way they can express their anger and frustration.
Tantrums are a normal part of child development.
They may include crying, screaming, and breath holding. Children may even throw themselves on their backs to the floor, hold their breath, clench their teeth, and kick and pound their fists. These emotional outbursts release energy as well as attract attention. Your child's temperament will set the tone. Some children are very adaptable, easygoing, positive, and easily distracted.
