NOTE

Understanding Toddler Tantrums and Emotional Development

Toddler tantrums are an indication of emerging emotional sensitivity and temperament, typically starting around the end of the first year of life. During this developmental stage, children experience significant growth in language, mobility, and influence over their environment. Tantrums often stem from challenging emotions due to boundaries, restrictions, or not getting their way. Toddlers may express big emotions through actions like throwing themselves around, hitting, shouting, biting, or screaming, as they lack the ability to process these intense feelings. Supporting children through this phase involves recognizing that their actions are not intentional efforts to make life difficult, but rather part of their learning and brain development process. Adults play a crucial role in helping toddlers navigate and manage their emotions during this critical developmental period from one to four or five years of age.
