Why do kids have tantrums?
A toddler is learning about limits. He has to learn about the limits that you set for him. He also has to learn the limits of his own abilities. He wants to be a big boy, but he isn’t really big enough or strong enough to do everything he wants. He can talk, but he doesn’t know enough words to express everything he wants to say. His world can be very frustrating. And his natural response to frustration is a meltdown.
