Temper tantrums are a common and challenging part of childhood. Understanding why they happen and how to manage them can make a big difference for both you and your child. 
Here's a guide to help you navigate temper tantrums and know when to seek professional guidance from our hospital.

What Are Temper Tantrums?
Temper tantrums are sudden outbursts of anger and frustration that often occur in young children. They can include crying, screaming, kicking, and other forms of physical or verbal expression.

Common Causes of Temper Tantrums:
Hunger or Fatigue: Basic needs not being met.
Frustration: Difficulty with tasks or communication.
Seeking Attention: Desire for parental attention.
Limits and Boundaries: Reacting to being told "no" or other limits.

When to Seek Professional Help?
While occasional tantrums are normal, frequent or severe tantrums may require professional guidance. 
Consider seeking help if:

• Your child's tantrums are violent or self-injurious.
• Tantrums occur frequently and disrupt family life.
• You feel overwhelmed and unsure how to handle the situation.

Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength and dedication to your child’s well-being.
