Another trigger for temper tantrums is to avoid
doing something the child does not want to do. For
example, if temper tantrums occur when asked to go
to bed, it is important to be sure children know when
bedtime is scheduled so they can prepare themselves
earlier in the evening. If bedtime is 8 p.m. it may be
necessary to remind children at 7 p.m. or 7:30 p.m. that
bedtime is at 8 p.m. so they will be prepared (Grover,
2008).
