Why do children throw tantrums? 🤔
There’s rarely just one reason. Tantrums can come from tiredness, hunger, big feelings they can’t name yet, a need for attention, or a struggle for independence. And what’s behind a tantrum changes with age. A toddler’s meltdown and a 7-year-old’s outburst are not the same thing.
Before reacting to the behaviour, get curious about what the child is trying to tell you. 💛
