People throw tantrums for one reason - to get attention because they are not getting their own way. We all know that kids throw tantrums, but adults do, too. Kids’ tantrums are obvious and involve screaming, kicking, stamping their feet, and throwing themselves on the floor. Teenagers and adults will throw tantrums for the same reason, although they don’t usually throw themselves on the floor. Their tantrums involve shouting, slamming doors and possibly throwing things. They may also become violent. This topic addresses how to prevent tantrums and how to cure them – quickly.
