Why toddler tantrums happen: Understanding the roots of frustration It&#8217;s easy to see a tantrum as deliberate misbehavior, but that perspective is often misleading. For a toddler a tantrum isn&#8217;t a performance or an attempt to manipulate, it&#8217;s a powerful form of communication that we as adults don\u2019t tolerate. 1. Tantrums are normal communication, not misbehavior: \u00a0 Your toddler is experiencing big, overwhelming feelings (anger, sadness, frustration) but lacks the sophisticated language and emotional regulation skills to express them constructively. Think of their tantrum this way: their emotional experience is the same as ours but their tools for managing it are still rudimentary. Now with this in mind imagine you are sitting in traffic at 5:30 pm on a hot summer day, hungry, want to use the bathroom, someone from work is still calling you because they need you back and someone next to you doesn\u2019t stop screaming. You feel it? The overwhelming frustration you experienced in this situation is the same one that your kid has when you say, \u201cWe can\u2019t have this right now\u201d \u201cWe need to go home\u201d, etc 2.
