    If kids have any form of tantrum, it’s because the parents let them and cave to the kids “demands”. Kids will keep throwing tantrums if it works.

    Edit: You can downvote all you want, but regardless of the situation, if you need to take 3 pointers from an article about “tech tantrums”, there are some more serious issues at play and it’s not an issue with the child.

      Or kids are neurodivergent and have trouble with changing from one activity to another…

      Or the kid is overwhelmed by a new situation and needs help regulating…

      Or the kid is hungry…

      Or tired…

      Being strict without understanding why a kid is acting up is not helpful. It should be possible to treat a child like a person and still set (and enforce) clear boundaries.
