A temper tantrum is a sudden, unplanned display of anger. During a temper tantrum, children often cry, yell, and swing their arms and legs. Temper tantrums usually last 30 seconds to 2 minutes and are most intense at the start.

Temper tantrums are most common in children ages 1 to 4 years. But anyone can have a tantrum-even an adult.

Ignoring the tantrums and helping a young child learn how to deal with anger and frustration are often good ways to deal with tantrums. Pay attention to what starts the tantrums.
