Do you expect your toddlers to have temper tantrums?
January 3rd, 2009 by adminBoth at home and publically? Do you think you can raise children in such a way that they never have temper tantrums?
It depends on the child, My daughter NEVER I repeat NEVER had a tantrum. She is now 7 and still has not done this, not at home and most deffinantly not outside of the home.

I think there is no way around it. I think it is a normal part of growing up.

No, I think it’s part of them getting older and testing boundries. It’s called the terrible twos! My parents were strict, and me and my brothers all respected our parents, and did as we were told. But each one of us went through the temper tantrum stage. I remember my youngest brother… phew. Haha. Some kids might not - it depends on their personality too. But I’d say the majority of kids definitely have them.
You need to ignore them generally. If you hiss and tell them to be quiet, they’ll just get worse. Often walking away shocks them in shutting up - but be prepared! After doing this a few times they’ll clue onto the fact that you will come back! Teach him/her that it’s no acceptable, but they’ll just grow out of it. If they’re attacking and biting, you’ll want to stop that. But the screams, red face and throwing themselves on the floor in the middle of your weekly shop/coffee with friends is pretty standard.
Good luck!

It’s a psychological part of their development. There isn’t really any way around it. Some kids are more dramatic and the tantrums are worse but it still happens to some extent.

Haven’t you ever seen an adult throw a temper tantrum? It’s an emotional response to stimulus, and it’s more or less unavoidable in all ages.

As much as I expect the sun to rise from the East! My son does not have many tantrums but he's had some. He's generally very happy but I really don't know what I have done to get there! I know I talk a lot and explain a lot in terms of actions and consequences but that's it I think.
I like the answer from Sparrow. Oh so true! I put it down to emotional neglect in childhood.

Yes I expect 99% of toddlers to have temper tantrums I don’t believe there is a way you can go around it and if you have that 1% of toddlers who don’t throw tantrums consider yourself lucky and let us in on the secret lol j/p.
No it is a normal stage toddlers go through. And here is a article saying why they throw these fits

I dont know my children have never had temper tantrums, but its hard to tell whether its parenting style or just the temperament of my children
