Temper tantrums

Acting-out behaviors

Temper tantrums are unpleasant and disruptive behaviors or emotional outbursts in children. They often occur in response to unmet needs or desires. Tantrums are more likely to occur in toddlers and preschool-age children. Older children who cannot express their needs or control their emotions when they are frustrated can also have temper tantrums, but much less often.
