What are temper tantrums?

Quality Health | Temper Tantrums
A temper tantrum is an unplanned, unintentional expression of anger, often with physical and verbal outbursts; it is not an act to get attention, as is commonly thought. During a temper tantrum, children typically cry, yell, and flail their arms and legs. Temper tantrums usually last 30 seconds to 2 minutes and are most intense at the onset. Occasionally temper tantrums last longer and consist of more aggressive behavior, such as hitting, biting, and pinching.

Will my child grow out of having temper tantrums?

Quality Health | Temper Tantrums
Most children gradually learn healthy ways to handle the strong emotions that can lead to temper tantrums. They also usually improve their ability to communicate, become increasingly independent, and recognize the benefits of having these skills. Children who continue to have tantrums after the age of 4 usually need outside help learning to deal with anger.

Why do children have temper tantrums?

Quality Health | Temper Tantrums
A tantrum is a normal and expected response when something interferes with a young child's attempt to achieve independence or to master a skill. For example, a temper tantrum may be triggered by a child becoming frustrated while trying to button a shirt or by being told it is time for bed when he or she wants to stay up longer. Some children are more likely to have temper tantrums than other children.

How do I deal with temper tantrums?

Quality Health | Temper Tantrums
Ignoring the tantrum behavior and helping a young child learn how to handle and express anger and frustration are usually effective ways to deal with the behavior. Also, pay attention to what triggers tantrums and try to intervene before a child's emotions escalate beyond the point he or she can control them. If your child continues to have frequent temper tantrums after age 3, you may need to use time-outs.

How do we deal with tantrums?

HADD - FAmily Support Group - ADHD and ADD
Remember, children with ADHD can have an explosive temperament. When things go wrong they may feel very frustrated and take it out on the people and things dearest to them. Favourite toys may get smashed and when the rage subsides they feel even more cross with themselves. Try not to criticise or remind them of what they’ve done. Once you have given a punishment, move on.

My child is irritable, has tantrums and has obsessive behaviour, is this common?

Frequently asked questions | HemiHelp: for children and youn...
Irritability and tantrums are very common in hemiplegia (about 25% of parents describe similar kinds of behaviours). Some children with hemiplegia seem to be born like it and others seem to develop more irritability as they go along. We do think that this tendency towards increased tantrums and outbursts when things don't go your way is directly related to the effects of underlying brain reorganisation - see our section on emotional and behavioural problems for further information.

If her lineage never comes up then why not make her a normal human child?

FAQs
I'm in love with the way she was designed. She's been like that for several years now and I'm rather used to it. Anyway, in a world with talking dogs, cat people, and praying mantises walking around, what's wrong with her being blue and having a tail? It makes her stand out. I think it's endearing. I tried making her human and her looks to me just came across as boring. So I stuck with the lizard-girl thing. Next question.

IS IT NORMAL FOR MY CHILD TO PLAY WITH FIRE?

City of Yakima
Curiosity about fire is a common issue with almost all children. The unsupervised use of fire by children, however, is always cause for concern and action. Tragedy could result the first time a child misuses fire, or similar results could occur after months of misuse. Fire play is a learned behavior in young children. They are introduced to fire through the actions of adults and older children in their life.

Frequently Asked Questions
While curiosity about fire is a common issue with almost all human beings (usually in the form of campfires, candles, fireplaces, etc.), the use of fire by children is a very dangerous behavior. A tragic situation can be created the first time a child misuses fire, or the same tragedy could occur after months of misuse. Adults must instill in children the idea that matches and lighters are tools, not toys. If adults lead by their example, children will usually gain a better understanding.

Can a child with normal intelligence have a problem with learning?

PACE Tutoring
Absolutely. IQ is only an average of many different learning skills, which means it's possible for someone who has "normal" intelligence to have scored high on some skills and low on others. And if those "low" scores are in the skills required for reading or math, then reading or math achievement will be low even though IQ is "normal." Read more about the misinterpretation of achievement and IQ test scores.
