If your child has been experiencing severe or persistent tantrums for more than two weeks in a row without any improvement in behavior then it might be time to seek professional help from either a pediatrician or mental health specialist who specializes in childhood behavioral issues. It is also recommended that parents seek help if the intensity level of the outburst increases over time despite attempts at managing them through positive reinforcement techniques such as redirection and distraction strategies. Additionally, if the frequency at which these episodes occur becomes too much for parents and caregivers to handle on their own then this could also indicate that it’s time to get outside assistance from professionals who have experience dealing with challenging behaviors in young children.
