A development psychologist will say that temper tantrums are a normal development in young children.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a child doesn't get what he asks for from his parents, he or she is likely to throw a temper tantrum. Depending on the child, the temper tantrum may vary from child to child. While one child may have a prolonged episode, others may have a tantrum that may last for less than 5 minutes.

Temper tantrums can be identified as a whining, loudly crying, screaming, not moving from a place and others alike. A child is most likely to throw a tantrum for the following reasons:

  • Failing to manage emotions
  • Failing to communicate effectively
  • Suffering from anxiety
  • Having struggle with classmates
